Mea Culpa |
| I have died inside, my heart is subdued |
| I have despoiled all I hold most true |
| What remains of me is but a shell |
| An outer vision of an inner hell |
| I can never make this up to you |
| But I will never stop trying to |
| No matter how great the final cost |
| I can’t yet believe that the fight is lost |
| Mea culpa |
| Mea maxima culpa |
| Forgive me, for I have sinned |
| There is nothing I can do or say |
| To lift the weight of the guilt from me |
| No thought or word is left untouched |
| Everything reminds me of my fall |
| Never more to stray from the righteous path |
| And to temptation in scorn to laugh |
| This is my desire |
| My only need |
| For you to forgive this ill-thought deed |
| My spirits they are flagging |
| My moral standards gone |
| Plunged into this darkness |
| In turmoil thrown |
| Shaken by the depth of my descent |
| Is it too late for a sinner to repent? |
| I have been blind but you have to see |
| That we must walk together from this nether world |
| Even in this weakness my faith in you is strong |
| I believe you can look beyond this wrong |
| Mea culpa |
| Mea maxima culpa |
| Forgive me, for I have sinned |
| There is nothing I can do or say |
| To lift the weight of the guilt from me |
| No thought or word is left untouched |
| Everything reminds me of my fall |
| Never more to stray from the righteous path |
| And to temptation in scorn to laugh |
| This is my desire |
| My only need |
| For you to forgive this ill-thought deed |
| The truth of what we were I have seen too late |
| Torn apart and cursed by my rising self-hate |
| In this act most hateful I put us to the test |
| I will see the strength of your love confessed |
| No more am I the servant of slavish lust |
| I feel stripped and flayed by my self-disgust |
| To the raging furies I am laid bare |
| And in truth, about myself I do not care |
| Mea culpa |
| Mea maxima culpa |
| Forgive me, for I have sinned |
| There is nothing I can do or say |
| To lift the weight of the guilt from me |
| No thought or word is left untouched |
| Everything reminds me of my fall |
| Never more to stray from the righteous path |
| And to temptation in scorn to laugh |
| This is my desire |
| My only need |
| For you to forgive this ill-thought deed |
| And I never meant to hurt you |
| I never thought I could |
| In this deceitful world |
| I wanted to be true |
| And I never meant to hurt you |
| I never thought I could |
| In this deceitful world |
| I am also untrue |
