second only to the guilt for
a lost redeemers bloody knees
in spite of loss, in spite of your doubts
in spite of all we think we need
we sing
dear beast i know
you keep your watchful eye on me
as well as all your wayward children
as we all yearn to once more be free
dear beast i see
past my own towering vanity
there's no punishment here for the wicked
the righteous stumble fall and bleed
dear beast i tried
tried hard to sew my own seed
in spite of all your tricks and trials
i must go where your road leads
