In fevered slumber I dreamed of scarlet fire Of scarlet letter spelling out name The dance upon the page Before my eyes they danced upon the page Questioning me on the life that I had led Casting condemnation for my sinful acts They branded me one of the damned They branded me one of the damned In lakes of torment, my life reflected back A hellish mirror reflect my broken past The devil's hands My future's held within the devil's hand I dreamed of stars Stars falling Collected in my hands I dreamed their light It saved me From the shadows of the damned * lyrics by Butch Balich (Penance)
