The lust of forbidden love and the pain it creates.
Scarlet letter

I cannot heal,
I cannot feel,
Empty shell,
I’m lock inside this hell,
Prison bars hold me in,
I wear the letter of my sin,

Keep me sane,
No longer vain,
The story unfolds,
This pain foretold,
My mind’s eye cries,
I feel as though I die,
Trapped within,
The letters of my sin,

Scarlet letter,
I won’t get better,
Bar your door,
Against this evil whore,
I hope to live again,
For I wear the letter of my sin,
Scarlet letter,

Passions price,
Harts cold as ice,
Passions lust,
Breaking of all trust,
I’ve been waiting,
I’ve been hating,
Trapped within,
The letter of my sin,

Tender kisses,
Painful wishes,
I’m flying higher,
Opening my desire,
Locked up in,
The letter of my sin,

I see a whore,
Who screams for more!
It cannot hide,
Yet locked inside,
Too much to tell,
I’m living in this hell,
It cuts in,
I wear the letter of my sin,

Scarlet letter,
I can’t get better,
Bar your door,
Against this evil whore,
I rage inside,
Nothing left to hide,
I will live again,
I bear the letter of my sin,
Scarlet letter,

Scarlet letter,
I won’t get better,
Bar your door,
Against this evil whore,
I wear the letter,
And I bare the letter,
Color scarlet,
Such a harlot,
I’ll live again,
Trapped within,
The letter of my sin,
