Unforgiving sacrifice
I lay me down to die
Bleeding out all of my despair
Hang me and leave me there
Bloodless and dry (drain me dry)

Rotten becomes my corpse (rotting from the day I was born)
As my heart slowly deceased
I cut myself down
I ripped out my heart (I cry for you)
My forbidden thoughts, unholy lusts

Hang me now and burn the witch (I'm the witch)
Give to your god your victim
Say that it was for him and now your forgiven
Look into my eyes and watch as my life fades
Drink the blood from my heart (taste the ocean)

The gods forgive you for your crimes
They punish me to hell (a hell I deserve)
I beg for you to sacrifice me
Let it be my suicide of murder
My game of cat and mouse (with my soul)

Rape my soul like so many others
I deserve to be punished (punish me by death)
Rip off my wings (make me fall from grace if I haven't already)
Slaughter me, strangle me of my last breath (I'll forgive you)
Will I ever reach the end?
