lyrics

The teeth of the whip tear flesh
The blood and pain for God
Your body must suffer
For your eternal soul
Your scars a holy vigil
To your willing sacrifice
To torture your body
In repentance to Christ

As you say your holy words you rip your skin anew
A piety so arrogant to think this is what you must do
A pitiful way for guilty masochists to masturbate for God
An empty hollow ritual to satisfy their lusts

The infection of sin you’re trying to kill
Is deeper than just mere skin
Though you’ll keep trying
With a cat of nine tails
And rip yourself to shreds
To believe that your torment is holy in nature
So twisted and sick of mind
So offer your screams and blood to Jesus
And take it out on your hide

As you say your holy words you rip your skin anew
A piety so arrogant to think this is what you must do
A pitiful way for guilty masochists to masturbate for God
An empty hollow ritual to satisfy their lusts
