The Suffering

[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 licking 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 got possessed one time, but I'm okay now
The demon changed its mind and chewed its way out
I hear its screams, scratching like it's trapped within
"How can this be?" 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
