Absolution

ABSOLUTION©
Words and Music by Red Forrest

1ST VERSE:

LIFE IS A MYSTERY
FROM THE BEGINNING
WHY DO I FEEL AS THOUGH
I NEED FORGIVING
GRANT MY SOUL RELEASE
EASE MY TROUBLED MIND
IN MY SEARCH FOR PEACE
(THAT’S) AS OLD AS TIME

2ND VERSE:

IS THERE A TESTAMENT
FOR THE CONFLICTED
SINS OF THE INNOCENT
STILL UNCONVICTED
HAVE I LOST MY WAY
BEEN LED ASTRAY
HAS TEMPTATION RULED
ANOTHER DAY

CHORUS:

ABSOLUTION
FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS
WATERS OF REDEMPTION
ARISE TO PULL ME IN

RETRIBUTION
IS THERE A PRICE TO PAY
WHEN ALL MY DEEDS LAY BARE
ON MY JUDGEMENT DAY

ABSOLUTION
ABSOLUTION

TRUMPET SOLO

REPEAT VERSES AND CHORUS

BRIDGE:

ACT OF CONTRITION
IS IT SINCERE
SILENT CONFESSION
THAT NO ONE WILL HEAR

ANGEL OF MERCY
FLIGHT OF FORGIVENESS
HAVE YOU BROUGHT TO ME
MY DAY OF DELIVERANCE

Coda:

ABSOLUTION
ABSOLUTION
I AM ABSOLVED
