The Guilt of Others Lyrics

Blame me for the guilt of others

I will take this all on my shoulders

But I don't know how long I'll make it

You say you're looking for a parachute

But the air is freezing around you

The fall has already begun

Save me all of your frustration

There's no doubt in my conviction

I'm sentenced to centuries of compassion

They say don't shoot the messenger

The Lord makes himself avenger

The bullet has already flown

Grant me your justification

I confess to the charges, but plead mitigation

I need it to get along with myself

But the blood on my hands is here to stay

I played Pilate at the Christmas play

The circle is already closed

Blame me for the guilt of others

I will take this all on my shoulders

But I don't know how long I'll make it

You say you're looking for a parachute

But the air is freezing around you

The fall has already begun
