Redemption's Sorrow

[Verse] Woke up in the morning Feeling the weight Of these chains around me My soul full of hate I broke through the walls Now I'm out on parole But the memories haunt me They're taking their toll [Verse 2] I did my time Paid my dues to the man But the scars on my heart They'll never mend Regret fills my veins Like a poison It flows I carry the burden Wherever I go [Chorus] Oh Redemption's sorrow It's a heavy strain I'm free from the prison But I'm still in chains The preacher's words They echo inside Amazing grace Where can I hide? [Verse] I made a terrible mistake Oh how I wish I could rewind But some things dear friend Can never be left behind I'm stuck here with this stain But, sometimes penance is just learning to bear it [Chorus] Oh Redemption's sorrow It's a burden I can't shake I'm set free from the past But the scars they still ache The scars they still ache The scars still ache
