The Gift Of Guilt Lyrics
We leave the shores to see the mountains rising
A distant impression growing
This judgement creates the pain in we hold
Destructive intentions that serve no purpose
But the end of us all
These vultures from the past, coming
In all the hells and worlds, the time has come
Delivered from their eyes
Embrace, suffer, destroy, gift of guilt
The shame and sorrow, self-condemnation
Fill all the gaps and the spaces, unyielding
Bestowed upon us, devastating power
We're building connective tissue to a maze of lies
We're left as starving orphans
The vital core is gone
Our sins are all over and over again we swallow
We're sick and tired when this wind blows
The reflex is insane
We must forgive and stop blaming ourselves for this love
These vultures from the past, coming
In all the hells and worlds, the time has come
Delivered from their eyes
I'm leaving this behind, the gift of guilt
A distant impression growing
This judgement creates the pain in we hold
Destructive intentions that serve no purpose
These vultures from the past, coming
In all the hells and worlds, the time has come
Delivered from their eyes
The shame and sorrow, self-condemnation
Fill all the gaps and the spaces, unyielding
Bestowed upon us, devastating power
We're left as starving orphans
The vital core is gone
Our sins are all over and over again we swallow
The reflex is insane
We must forgive and stop blaming ourselves for this love
These vultures from the past, coming
Delivered from their eyes
I'm leaving this behind, the gift of guilt

It's a pretty cool way to describe the guilt you feel for what you've done in the past; stuff that at the time seemed like the right thing, but it was wrong....SO very wrong. And or that you didn't do what seems so clear now (hindsight, eh) that should have been done/said.
