Lyrics
Kneel on mangled knees at the feet of zealous sadists
Ruptured
Flesh splits open spilling the crimson waste
Trembling
Still you're cowering, this is self appointed penance
Beset by scourging lashes from all angles the whips shall fall
Whimpering wreck, prostrate and take these blows
Smashed down and beaten, atonement in submission
Precise and merciless, flagellation scourge this soul
Desperate to vindicate, to redeem
Every strike leaves mounting scars and bloody gashes
Anoint me in these righteous bruises
These scars of absolution
Each slash hardens and callouses
Every stinging wound crusts like a shell
Bit by bit, flesh turns to iron
Rigid in a permanent state of dejection
You are deserving of every vile act of hatred
Tormenting thoughts parasitically feed on remorse
Engorged on the flagellate's crimson spillings
You are a worthless cretin, not a man but a beast
Unable to break these cycles of guilt
The defeatist desperately cries
This is all we are
And all we'll ever be
It's all you'll ever be
It's not that things cannot change
It's just never in a significant way
This is a fatalistic prophecy
A defeatists pervasive ideology
Yearn to define yourself as something more
Than a slave to your impulses, a creature capable of reform
This is all we are
And all we'll ever be
It's all you'll ever be
