lyrics

Desperate tormentors
All wish they were saints
They hate what they are
And despise what they ain’t

Desperate tormentors
Leave more in their wake
Plead clemency, love
For ignorance’s sake

But not knowing the law
Is no excuse to break it
You can’t explain away things
No one made you do
History haunts
The fools who think they can shake it
But no one warned you

Desperate tormentors
Flail dutifully on
With no provocation to base their fury upon

Desperate tormentors
Test the limits of grace
Burning through chances at a furious pace
