In the struggle of surviving life there is but one goal; One purpose To suffer, endure, and remain And with time such challenges become a matter of course To face, overcome, and leave behind But, with what reason does God choose to inflict so many hardships on me? For the sins of Cane on Able? Or was it for Adam and Eve? Peccavi, peccavi Let them then suffer Punish them for the things that I do Suppose it is my bitterness that causes such things? The power of Karma with fingers of ice Then dare I not speak with words in vain; In tongues of anger with blood red snake eyes for the lord will surely strike me down But for what reason does God trip my stride and lay weight on my back? For the sins of men who cripple and stab? Peccavi yes I have sinned But, burden them as they have burdened me Peccavi yes I have sinned Yet, I am pure in heart but, left with them it would surely bleed God damn it.God damn them I'm so sick of it all If pain is what makes your garden grow, then just fertilize this garden flower If this is all life's got to show, then death shall be my finest hour Forgive me lord, as I speak in vain Our father who'art in heaven hallowed be thy name But, is it too much to ask you to free me from this hell when Thy kingdom come,thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven Peccavi, peccavi Let them then suffer Punish them for the things that I do I have sinned I'm so sick of it all Do you caress with a tainted glove? I cannot see through a painted lust Please free me from these chains of love That tie me down through sweat and rust
