Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty of the life I feel within

And when I'm branded
This mark of shame
Should I look down disgraced

Or straight ahead
And know that you must blame


I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty

And I, I am the thorn within

Forgive me father

For I have sinned
Find me guilty when true guilt is from within
So point your fingers

Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow me
One and the same are we


I am the secret
I am the sin

I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within


I do your time
I take your fall
I'm branded guilty

For us all

So point your fingers

Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you
One and the same are we


I am the secret
I am the sin

I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within


The evil within us all?
