Innocent Sacrifice

I cannot put into words
How much I regret my ways
You are the one I denied
All because of my pride
 
Enduring so much torture
Standing fast for grace
It makes me wonder
Could I even look at your face?
 
You gave me life
And I took yours
You wanted love
I never noticed it before
 
It should have been me
Hung on a lifeless tree
You could have been free
But instead you redeemed
 
I am so ashamed by this
Betrayed with just one kiss
You were taken to the skull
The sacrifice paid in full
Surely, you were innocent
I realize I must now repent

This is an older one that was inspired by As I Lay Dying's song Behind Me Lies Another Fallen Soldier.
