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
