The Suffering

Lyrics

[Chorus: Zach Religious, Billy Obey] Father, forgive me, for I have sinned Father, forgive me, for the evil within My soul, I can't, I won't let go Right now, the suffering is slow [Verse 1: Billy Obey] I push my faith aside in favor of pleasure and momentary gain What is buried remains Underneath a memory (Underneath a memory) In a grave that was meant for me, everything falls eventually I'm left standing in the rubble, trying to piece it whole again I let my demons take control again Ask for forgiveness, but I'm undeserving Waiting on His judgement, my stomach's turning Done with yearning for a better place in life, that's why I'm the reason you ain't safe at night Lone dome full of booze, nothing to lose, now functioning used With no better use than to harm you Just horns, no halo, I was born into hate so What the fuck did you expect from me? Torn indefinitely, not really okay Murder please these voices that Billy Obey [Chorus: Zach Religious, Billy Obey] Father, forgive me, for I have sinned Father, forgive me, for the evil within My soul, I can't, I won't let go Right now, the suffering is slow [Verse 2: Joe Black] I'm too meek to be a martyr, please forgive me father Speaking tongues are leaking from my bleeding stigmata Causing-causing-causing me to drip a bit upon the altar Did I mention, did I mention my dimensions might be altered?

I'm asking while it's happening I can feel his teeth gnashing in my abdomen I called a priest, but all it did was laugh at him And so the fire burned slow, I remain infernal Like Dante's Inferno, the suffering's eternal Abandon-abandon hope all ye who enter Bodies burned to cinders, souls don't return to sender Eyes rain like hell, I'm impaled and vain and muttering This is the tale of one man's hell in case you were wondering [Chorus: Zach Religious, Billy Obey] Father, forgive me, for I have sinned Father, forgive me, for the evil within My soul, I can't, I won't let go Right now, the suffering is slow Father, forgive me, for I have sinned Father, forgive me, for the evil within
