lyrics

My feet are burning on the ground
It looks like there's no one else around
Dogs are running in the streets
There is no shelter from the heat

I walk in search of pouring rain
To quench my thirst, to end my pain
I call for help but no one hears
Feels like i've been out here for years

I must repent for all my sins if i want to live
I have to pay back what i took, but I've got nothing to give
There is nowhere you can hide, nowhere you can run
Punishment for a life of doing wrong, eternity in the sun

My soles are blistered and my skin is red and raw
The street i follow just goes on and on and on
My brain is scarred from all the things that i have seen
I think i finally know what hell really means

I must repent for all my sins if i want to live
I have to pay back what i took, but I've got nothing to give
There is nowhere you can hide, nowhere you can run
Punishment for a life of doing wrong, eternity in the sun
