"Forgiven" lyrics

My confessions are brought on by fire
I've been a bad man, a sinner, a liar
I'm a victim of changing desire
Yeah, even begging and pleading
So I don't just

Throw me in the holy water
Drag me down into the slaughter
Kicking and screaming and testing my faith

Father, I have sinned
Why can't you save me?
Can I be forgiven?
Can I be forgiven?
Stranger, let me in
Why can't you save me?
Can I be forgiven?
Can I be forgiven?

Save your judgements for someone who cares
My days are numbered, I cannot be spared
Sheeps will mutter about my despair
Yeah, you've been begging and pleading
So I don't just

Throw me in the holy water
Drag me down into the slaughter
Kicking and screaming and testing my faith

Father, I have sinned
Why can't you save me?
Can I be forgiven?
Can I be forgiven?
Stranger, let me in
Why can't you save me?
Can I be forgiven?
Can I be forgiven?
I need your forgiveness
Can I be forgiven?

What's it take to be forgiven?
What's it take to be forgiven?
Am I too far gone? (Am I too far gone?)
Am I too far gone?
Am I too far gone?
What's it take to be delivered?
What's it take to be delivered?
Am I too far gone? (Am I too far gone?)
Am I too far gone?
Am I too far gone?
I thought you said I'd be delivered
I thought you said I'd be delivered
Am I too far gone? (Am I too far gone?)
Am I too far gone?
Am I too far gone?

Father, I have sinned
Why can't you save me?
Can I be forgiven?
Stranger, let me in
Why can't you save me?
Can I be forgiven?
Can I be forgiven?

Father, I have sinned
Why can't you save me?
Can I be forgiven?
Can I be forgiven?
I need your forgiveness
Can I be forgiven?
