Lyrics

Father,
you know where I have been and
you know what I have done
they say that you see everything
so you know I never hurt no one
What I have stolen won't be missed
By those who had so much, so long
We'll soon be laughing about this
They will never notice it is gone
I could bend the universe
If I can only get there first
These are some foolish fresh laid plans
My fate is firmly in your hands

If you must take me
I can not go peacefully
I left someone waiting for me
I left things so terribly..

They say man is just your seed
Spilled out on the thirsty earth
A simple servant of your needs
from the moment of our birth
Tell me am I not your seed?
Tell me am I not your son?
Tell me have you just forgotten
All those years of devotion

Take
If you must take me
I can not go peacefully
I left someone waiting for me
I left things so terribly..
Undone
