Look into her eyes
Bow your head in shame
Don’t you dare deny
Or tell me I'm to blame
You can't hide behind your country
Or blame it on your war
You can’t blot it from your memory
Or drink it out the door
Bow your head low
Discard your old disguise
Atone, young man, before you go
That’s where your comfort lies
Look into the mirror
And tell me what you see
An old man of good cheer
Or a soldier for slavery
You can't hide behind your colors
Or blame it on anyone
You can only help uncover
The crimes of the Rising Sun
Bow your head low
Hold your hand up high
Atone, young man, before you go
That’s where your comfort lies
Will you tell the truth?
Will you apologize?
Will you feel the pain of my youth
When you look into my eyes?
Bow your head low
Hear the howling cries
Atone, young man, before you go
That’s where your comfort lies
Atone, young man, before you go
That’s where your comfort lies
