And when your time on the mountain is over
And you fall to the earth like a leaf
It won't be enough this time to say sorry
Sorry won't pay for this grief
You may lay your guilt on the altar
Or nail your remorse to the cross
But it's not enough this time to say sorry
Sorry won't pay for this loss
And when the blood on your hands turns to water
When the night on your soul turns to day
It won't be enough this time to say sorry
Sorry won't wash it all away
You may lay your guilt on the altar
Nail your remorse to the cross
But it's not enough this time to say sorry
Sorry won't pay for this loss
And when you're through with the spells you've been spinnin'
When your hopes and your dreams have all died
It won't be enough this time to say sorry
Sorry won't turn back the tide
And if you should desist from deceiving
And if you should confess to the crime
It won't be enough this time to say sorry
Sorry won't save you this time
You may lay your guilt on the altar
Or nail your remorse to the cross
But it's not enough this time to say sorry
Sorry won't pay for this loss
You may lay your guilt on the altar
Or nail your remorse to the cross
But it's not enough this time to say sorry
Sorry won't pay for this loss
