Helen
James Garnes
Whisper under your breath
To convince the skeptic
Say that you're clean
This declaration of innocence
You're never redeemed
Penance is the price
I alone shall decide
For this greatest of sins
Angered the gods
Your walls shall burn
All for the sweet Helen
Welcome this war
With open arms
You declared it yourself
Mercy's not a part
Of my repertoire
Find forgiveness somewhere else
Picture the perfect death
The fall of success
Your nightmarish dream
Redemption is the ends
These weapons will cleanse
Revenge is the means
Penance is the price
I alone shall decide
For this greatest of sins
Angered the gods
Your walls shall burn
All for the sweet Helen
Welcome this war
With open arms
You declared it yourself
Mercy's not a part
Of my repertoire
Find forgiveness somewhere else
