Shame lyrics

Oh, that men could look ahead

And know right from wrong

To follow a lit path, not darkened

And do the right thing easily

But unbridled ambition runs away

In its wake will be the smashed

And done is done so no regret

Can manifest it back again

From bad comes bad, we all know

But still to choose the path of self

An endless abyss lies at its end

Only darkness and muttering go

Can we not easily see the truth

Where right is right, and wrong

Still wrong, lies are called such

Not hastened to excuse away

And should shame come unknown

Then the time to amend is near

Regret, no repetion to be made

Character finds itself anew
