Defeater - Atonement Lyrics






I’ve been slipping away
I’ve been losing the days
I’ve been letting my vices drink from me
No holy spirit, no resurrection
I’ve been hoping on death, faith forgotten in theft
Years of heartache and guilt haunting my sleep
No holy spirit, no salvation

Hopeless and abandoned
Hopeless and abandoned

Been waiting, a lifetime to hear that voice
Speaking quiet and low, carries the weight of the world
I can hear him helpless between words
Been paying a lifelong sins penance

Speaking quiet and low, lay down the weight of the world
Find some solace and comfort in the word
"What brings you here my son
What brings you here my son"

Hopeless and abandoned
Hopeless and abandoned

I’ve been slipping away
I’ve been losing the days
I’ve been letting the needle bleed from me
No holy spirit, no resurrection
I’ve been hoping on death, faith forgotten in theft
Years of heartache and guilt haunting my sleep
No holy spirit, no salvation

Hopeless and abandoned
Hopeless and abandoned

  1. J.... K....

    So fucking deep. Amazing group of musicians. This song hits me in the fucking feels so hard I can barely listen.

  2. S.... P....

    I’ve been slipping away
    I’ve been losing the days
    I’ve been letting my vices drink from me
    No holy spirit, no resurrection
    I’ve been hoping on death, faith forgotten in theft
    Years of heartache and guilt haunting my sleep
    No holy spirit, no salvation

    Hopeless and abandoned
    Hopeless and abandoned
    I've been waiting, a lifetime to hear that voice
    Speaking quiet and low, carries the weight of the world
    I can hear him helpless between words
    Been paying a lifelong sin's penance

    Speaking quiet and low, lay down the weight of the world
    Find some solace and comfort in the words

    What brings you here my son?
    What brings you here my son?

    Hopeless and abandoned
    Hopeless and abandoned

    I’ve been slipping away
    I’ve been losing the days
    I’ve been letting the needle bleed from me
    No holy spirit, no resurrection
    I’ve been hoping on death, faith forgotten in theft
    Years of heartache and guilt haunting my sleep
    No holy spirit, no salvation

    Hopeless and abandoned
    Hopeless and abandoned

  3. w.... b....

  4. R.... G....

    can anybody tell me which music genre do they play?

    R.... G....

    Melodic hardcore.

  5. B.... B....

    i always tought the dad killed the guy who slept with his wife, he says so in "no shame". i guess they tricked him in that too lol.

    B.... B....

    +Brzrkr Borbas I'm guessing the mother blamed her pregnancy on her dealer to spare the priest from the father.

  6. S.... T....

    They need to combine "Cowardice" and this song somehow when they play live

  7. K.... W....

    This song probably the most iconic in terms of story, even more than the younger brother killing the older one.

    I’ve been slipping away,
    I’ve been losing the days,
    I’ve been letting my vices take from me,
    No holy spirit, no resurrection.
    I’ve been hoping of death, (…) it’s left
    Years of heartache and guilt haunting my sleep
    No holy spirit, no salvation.
     
    Hopeless and abandoned.
    Hopeless and abandoned.
     
    Been waiting, a lifetime to hear that voice.
    Speaking quiet and low, carries the weight of the world
    I can hear him helpless between words
    Been paying a lifelong sins penance.
     
    Speaking quiet and low, lay down the weight of the world
    Find some solace and comfort in the word.
    What brings you here my son.
    What brings you here my son.

    Hopeless and abandoned.
     
    I’ve been slipping away,
    I’ve been losing the days,
    I’ve been letting the needle bleed from me
    No holy spirit, no resurrection.
    I’ve been hoping of death, (…) it’s left
    Years of heartache and guilt haunting my sleep,
    No holy spirit, no salvation.
     
    Hopeless and abandoned.
    Hopeless and abandoned.
