Forgiveness Lyrics

Forgiveness makes fools of all of us

Alone to face
A hostile place
A moment's peace ain't coming

The constant cold
Cracking your bones
The stench of life worth living

The line in the sand ain't drawn for everyone
The flag in your hand don't make you American
Stripping your soul back, be forever young, forever young, forever young

Forgiveness makes fools of all of us

Wake up, walk on, you are alone
The world you're in is too heavy
But soak your skin in love and sin
Falling like confetti

The line in the sand ain't drawn for everyone
The flag in your hand don't make you American
Stripping your soul back, be forever young, forever young, forever young

Forgiveness makes fools of all of us
Forgiveness makes fools of all of us

The line in the sand ain't drawn for everyone
The flag in your hand don't make you American
Stripping your soul back, be forever young, forever young, forever young

Forgiveness makes fools of all of us
Forgiveness makes fools of all of us
Forgiveness makes fools of all of us
Forgiveness makes fools of all of us

Cover art for Forgiveness lyrics by Editors

I might be way off but for me its about how people are lead to believe that war is needed for "a life worth living" and that forgiveness would be foolish. But then, finding out that war is not the answer, because "a moments peace ain't coming." How the ones who gave up their lives for this war had been forsaken, seen as peons ('wake up walk on...you are alone", and how the ones in rule soak their souls in sin and don't really care.
