I was born
With a crown that's broken
I'm cut with the words that's been spoken
You can see the blood on my hands
The evidence of my sin
A new beginning that comes to an end
Yet I am so lost
Enslaved among the beasts
So we cherish the virgins when we feast
One by one we follow
Into the depths of our disarray
I count my blessing and wish them away
So don't hold me guilty
Because we are one and the same
I too will rise and fall in my pain
