Am G Am
[Verse 1]
AmWe will be the forgotten ones
They will shake their heads and pity us
GWe who sacrificed our sons and daughters
With the sweet taste of victory on Amour lips
They will cry, but their tears will come too late
GThere is no redemption for the ones
Who choose to walk in the shadowsAm  
[Chorus]
OAmh sweet redeemFer
Will you save Ga place for me
I am tired Emand I'm seeking resEtitutionAm  
AmOh will you heal Fme

They will just go on the way they always hEaveAm

[Verse 1]

We will be the forgotten ones

They will shake their heads and pity us

With the sweet taste of victory on our lips

They will cry, but their tears will come too late

There is no redemption for the ones

Who choose to walk in the shadows

[Chorus]

Am F

Oh sweet redeemer

Oh will you heal me

Will you take away my pain

E Am

What I'm looking for is absolution

[Verse 2]

Getting out of purgatory is no small accomplishment

And the price is high

The choice is never clear

And difficult to make

But it will not change them

They will just go on the way they always have

[Chorus]

Oh sweet redeemer

Will you save a place for me

Oh will you heal me

Will you take away my pain

Will you take away my pain

What I'm looking for is absolution
