Forgive me father
                            For I have sinned
                            Find me guilty of the life I feel within
                            And when I'm branded
                            This mark of shame
                            Should I look down disgraced
                            Or straight ahead
                            And know that you must blame

                                  I am the secret
                                  I am the sin
                                  I am the guilty
                                  And I, I am the thorn within

                            Forgive me father
                            For I have sinned
                            Find me guilty when true guilt is from within
                            So point your fingers
                            Point right at me
                            For I am shadows and will follow you
                            One and the same are we

                                  I am the secret
                                  I am the sin
                                  I am the guilty
                                  And I, I am the thorn within

                            I do your time
                            I take your fall
                            I'm branded guilty
                            For us all

                            So point your fingers
                            Point right at me
                            For I am shadows and will follow you
                            One and the same are we

                                  I am the secret
                                  I am the sin
                                  I am the guilty
                                  And I, I am the thorn within
