Born from the hidden The dark and the suppressed A lifetime of misery in the ranks of the oppressed
In my skin I pen my sins the burden of penance carved in flesh My body is a map of pain a scar ridden wasteland
I regret reciting forgiveness I repent cutting deep not to forget
Mutilation for absolution to avoid the horrors of damnation My pain and blood will bring salvation and humiliation
A festering sickness that rages inside From birth of fragile flesh to decay upon the cross
I regret reciting forgiveness I repent cutting deep not to forget In my skin I pen my sins the burden of penance carved in flesh My body is a map of pain a scar ridden wasteland
Born from the hidden The dark and the suppressed A lifetime of misery In the ranks of the oppressed A festering sickness that rages inside From birth of fragile flesh to decay upon the cross
