[00:18.03] She finds him by the fire,
[00:25.78] His clothes have got him dripping from his crimes.
[00:33.45] He beckons her, "Sweet daughter,"
[00:41.76] The voice that once avenged her younger life.
[00:47.57] He's got the voice of a con,
[00:49.38] The same one
[00:50.63] Who cut down in the name of his God,
[00:54.64] Who took on the robe of a judge,
[00:58.64] Without a license to kill without cause.
[01:02.82] He's not worth it.
[01:04.64] He's not worth it;
[01:06.32] He's not worth it.
[01:07.89] Remember what he did that made you question all the words he cited!
[01:12.57] From the book, the same book,
[01:15.57] That's reeling you home after so many years of silence.
[01:21.82] And the daughter watches father,
[01:29.01] As he sleeps and dreams, she brings the knife to light.
[01:37.64] 'Cause she knows he can't go farther,
[01:45.26] And he'll never wake to see his daughter cry.
[01:50.95] Don't lose control or you will long
[01:53.45] To go back to this time and rewrite your thought.
[01:58.57] 'Cause you're about to choose what's to come,
[02:02.51] So ironic, it's ironic, it's ironic that you're contemplating murder
[02:10.43] While I'm educating you in mercy!
[02:12.67] You say you want, you say you want,
[02:15.73] The means to believe, so don't change who you are,
[02:20.99] 'Cause who you are is how I made you to discover me!
[02:26.98] The steel marries his skin.
[02:29.30] No, it's not worth it, it's not worth it.
[02:32.87] I cut him down! I cut him down!
[02:35.19] He didn't have to fall, it's your fault,
[02:37.44] It's your fault. You lost control,
[02:41.32] And now you long to go back and rewrite your thought.
[02:46.75] But I won't let you slip away.
[02:50.69] Not this time, not this time.
[02:54.94] This time you're gonna learn what it means to receive the very mercy
[03:00.69] That you denied when you denied
[03:03.13] The means to believe,
[03:06.81] I'll keep feeding you the proof that you need,
[03:10.00] But you spit it out to follow... your doubt.
[03:17.94] And now he can't go farther,
[03:21.69] 'Cause he'll never wake to see his daughter cry
