"The armor is gone... I gave it away. I walked in the fire... to earn back the day. My feet are so cold... in this mud and this gore. I don't look like... a princess... of war anymore. I see the gold ships... descending through clouds. I hear my sisters... singing so loud.

A SINNER WAS BORN!
HER ARMOR TORN!
HER VISION LOST!
NOW SHE HAS TO PAY THE COST!


They say that pain... is the wine of the soul. I drank until... I lost all control. I swung the great blade... 'til my muscles were torn. I wished I had never... never been born. But the heretics fell... they fell in the dirt. Does it count, my Emperor? ... Does it cover the hurt?

I didn't run... when the demons came close. I stood like a statue... I stood like a rose. I don't have a shield... I don't have a name. I'm just a sinner... walking in flame.

And I gave you my blood! It’s all I could pay! Please tell me, my Father, I washed it away! I don't need a statue! I don't need a shrine! I just need to know that your love is still mine! Look at me now! I am broken and true! I destroyed myself... just to be worthy of you!

The pain is fading! The grey turns to gold! I'm not feeling hunger! I'm not feeling cold! I see the Aquila! It burns in the sky! It’s a beautiful day... for a sinner to die!
Sanctus!
Sanctus!
I did it! I did it! I held back the night! Tell me I'm worthy! Tell me I'm bright!

Am I forgiven...? (Am I forgiven...?) Am I forgiven...? (Am I forgiven...?) The ash is so soft... The ash is so white..."
