A sinner's final prayer...
Forgive me Father, for I have sinned,
It was I that drove the needles in.
Me that held and bound their hands.
I sat alone and made these plans.

Forgive me Father, my twisted needs
It helps with the pain to watch them bleed.
Is it shameful that my fondest dreams
Are of begging eyes and silenced screams?

Forgive me Father for the lives I took.
One taste of blood and I knew I was hooked
I prayed and I begged you to heal my soul
But the sky stayed empty and my heart stayed cold

Forgive me Father in your holy light
What I am about to do tonight
If we're all made for a reason then justify me
Did you know from the start what I'd grow up to be?

Forgive me Father I can take it no more
Watch my life leak red from my throat to the floor
I'll die in sin as I was wicked in life
A loser, a psycho, a slave to the knife.
