And we forgive, and God will forgive.
We want revenge from ignorance.
But the evil thing - retribution
In itself, concealing, conceals.
And our way is clean, and our duty is simple:
Don't be vengeful. Not us revenge.
The snake, turning the links
In your own bite tail.
Sorry we are, and God will forgive you,
But forgiveness of sin does not know
He himself keeps
His blood washes away,
Himself never to forgive
Though we will forgive, and God will forgive.
