Perpetua

Shame, in my brain
 Made so plain
 It's all the same
 Fear is the stain
 It's my pain, again
 Wrestle or writhe
 This is my tithe
 To give up my life
 My sacrifice
 Stifle or seethe
 On the back of the freed
 These children of greed
 Our enemy
 Guilt is what you feel
 They made you kneel
 To know it's real
 So, inside
 The real lie
 That you hide
 Yes my love
 You're right, dear
 You're right, you're right
 I've come too far to let them
 Define my right
 Wipe the blood from the wrist
 Alight, alight
 Stoke the flames of insolence
 Defy
 Ghosts in my head
 In my bed, forever haunting me
 Pierced between the bones
 Ravaged by wild beasts
 Feel the unreal
 All your dreams, all your schemes
 They're mine
 I'm living off of glimpses of your darkened world
 Ravenous, unclean
 Ascending in a dream
 They made me kneel
 They made me kneel
 Go kneel, go kneel
 Go kneel
 Start to feel
 All your life, all your strife
 It's mine, this time
 And see
 I see, that all your life
 The bloody knife
 It's alright, this time
 Shame in my brain
 Made so plain, it's all the same
 So, inside
 The real lie
 That you hide
 Yes my love
 You're right, dear
 You're right, you're right
 I've come too far to let them
 Define my right
 Wipe the blood from the wrist
 Alight, alight
 Stoke the flames of insolence
 Defy
