Johnny Dissent - Oh Paladin Lyrics

Paladin oh paladin lay down your sword
And let your shield fall
Paladin oh paladin the war you have fought
Was never a one at all

You turned away the woman you swore to love
Because she shared her love with someone else
You've carried a hole on your heart just for her
Its time for you to forgive and forget

I can't absolve you of your sins
But I don't; think anybody should
I won't make you a better man but
I can catch you when you fall

You ran away from the oldest friend you had
Because when times got hard he turned to dealing crack
You told him you didn't want that shit around
But the truth is you were just a scared kid

I can't absolve you of your sins
But I don't; think anybody should
I won't make you a better man but
I can catch you when you fall

The day you turn your back on the gods that you have served
Will be the first one that your heart can beat for itself

And you will see the colors that live between white and black
And you can learn to love the beauties of our flaws

And on that day Your heart of Steel can turn to gold
And the things you hated you can finally let go
The respect you demand it all along it's time for you to earn
You can finally be the man you thought you were all along

I can't absolve you of your sins
But I don't; think anybody should
I won't make you a better man
But I can catch you when you fall
