Penance Songtext
von Nightmares for a Week

Hope rides beside me with a shotgun
A landscape so beautiful I just want to die
Won′t you take me away to wherever you're going?
The beer′s on me tonight
We need a fire but somewhere we lost the light
It's dark tonight


Hope rides beside me with a hole in her head
She's got no regrets, she′s got no regrets
We′re all naked in the desert sun
Penance for the last night's fun
Tonight we′ll make another run
Hope is still the rising sun

Alone, alone, alone again
Alone, these words were never meant

Our bodies once kissed by the sun
Lay dead in the street with Hope staring back at me
Spent the summer days in reckless ways
Searching for a glimpse of the better days

As they sharpen their teeth, they greet us with a smile

Hope rides beside me with a shotgun
A landscape so beautiful I just want to die
