A year passed by tonight I know not where she went She may have gone down corridor And invited in repent Her glowing eyes, her flowing locks Were not for nothing now Destined to absolve my sins With a frown upon my brow For most that night, they knew not Of penitent's existence Living for the here and now Noticeable pretence The present in attendance The future yet to serve Fireworks like Northern Lights In mind to be preserved But like a dog, so many Care not what future do I cannot alter the course he'll take If destiny be true
