Once there was life and we were strong, full of pride Once we bred fear and we would take the flesh denied Once we were God's and all things knelt before our word or died Now we're just a ruin We were our undoing We're the unforgiven.
Once there was light but we were vain, lost in mind Once we bled rage and to our shame we killed the blind Once we were praised but all things fall, even God's unkind Now we're a dead religion Not one soul delivered We're the unforgiven
