Derelict

Derelict this soul of mine
Treading in waters flooded
Seeking penance for himself
Absolution for his crimes

Destitute is this girl’s heart
Desperate in want of you
Solemn she commits pretense
Unwilling is she to part

Bloody are her wounds undressed
Grieve I for pieces shattered
Heaven is what I’m after
Otherwise a girl repressed

Redemption, daughter is here
Escape to the here-after
Seek not answers to this world
Rather it not rule your fear

Quiet is night in slumber
Rest your weary head my dear
Heavy is the earth’s blanket
Forfeit what lay asunder
