[Verse 1]
Chasing ghosts, the old town hall
Engineering my own downfall
Lethargy rules this fear of change
There's a debt the public made me forgive
My body’s dead but my spirit refuses to quit
I'm surrounded on all sides
[Chorus]
If my pride relents
I will crawl to you
If the greatest of seven sins removes its black hand from my throat
I will crawl to you
[Verse 2]
When the air fills with that shade
It takes me back to those days
Those warm summer nights by the rivers bend
Our garden can't last for long
The groundskeeper can’t admit he's wrong
It's a village legacy appearing
[Chorus]
If my pride relents
I will crawl to you
If the greatest of seven sins removes its black hand from my throat
I will crawl to you
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
If my pride relents
I will crawl to you
If the greatest of seven sins removes its black hand from my throat
I will crawl to you
If repentance allows
I will bury you
If the sands of time flow on and fill the clock
I'll forget you
