The Inheritance Of Sin And Shame

You shine like the blinding sun

With the seas weeping on the shores

And the salt spray dashing

Against the windows

Your gaze lies distant...

Where have your thoughts gone off?

You shine like the blinding sun

With your sorrows hidden away

And a face without a heart gazes

Upon the portrait that reflects

Your sin and shame

Where have your thoughts gone off?

As a sinless and shameless face

Walks among the living unchanged

And yet your gaze lies distant

And you wish you had never lost your soul

To a portrait of sorrow

But where does a troubled mind go?
