Guilty
Outside the gate there lived a man
A man with a forgotten name
Who tried to feel most everything
But where he ended up was wrapped in shame
It's how you shape the day to day
Not what you hide behind
We are born with this sin he said
And with this sin we must surely die
And we don't see him anymore
He's lost his way now that's for sure
She doesn't recognize him
But she knew him very well
The tattered suit, the leather boots
The ringing of the bells
She said, "It's what you give"
And what you take and what you leave behind
That marks the measure of your life
She said she knew him very well
There was a man who lived outside the gate
And guilty was his name
He tried to love most everything
But where he ended up was wrapped in shame
It's who he loved and what he took
And who he left behind
That marked the measure of his life
You know that Guilty was his name
Culpable
Fuera de la puerta vivía un hombre
Un hombre con un nombre olvidado
Que intentaba sentir casi todo
Pero donde terminó envuelto en vergüenza
Es cómo moldeas el día a día
No lo que escondes detrás
Nacemos con este pecado, dijo
Y con este pecado seguramente moriremos
Y ya no lo vemos más
Ha perdido su camino, eso es seguro
Ella no lo reconoce
Pero lo conocía muy bien
El traje desgastado, las botas de cuero
El sonido de las campanas
Ella dijo, 'Es lo que das'
Y lo que tomas y lo que dejas atrás
Eso marca la medida de tu vida
Ella dijo que lo conocía muy bien
Había un hombre que vivía fuera de la puerta
Y culpable era su nombre
Intentaba amar casi todo
Pero donde terminó envuelto en vergüenza
Es a quién amaba y lo que tomaba
Y a quién dejaba atrás
Eso marcaba la medida de su vida
Sabes que Culpable era su nombre
