When your time on the mountain is over And you fall to the earth like a leaf It won't be enough these days to say sorry Sorry won't pay for this grief
Chorus: You may lay down your guilt on the altar Nail your remorse to the cross But it's not enough these days to say sorry Sorry won't pay for this loss
And if the blood on your hands turns to water And the night in your soul turns to day It won't be enough this time to say sorry Sorry won't wash it all away
(Chorus)
When you're through with the spells you've been spinning And your hopes and your dreams have all died It won't be enough these days to say sorry Sorry won't turn back the tide
You may lay down your guilt on the altar Nail your remorse to the cross It's not enough these days to say sorry No, sorry won't pay for this loss
And if you should desist from deceiving And if you should confess to the crime It won't be enough these days to say sorry No, no, sorry won't save you this time
You may lay down your guilt on the altar Nail your remorse to the cross But it's not enough these days to say sorry No, no, sorry won't pay for this loss
