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, I am the secret

I am, I am the sin

I am, 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 me

One and the same are we



I am, I am the secret

I am, I am the sin

I am, 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 me

One and the same are we



I am, I am your secrets

I am, I am your sin

I am, I am your guilty

And I, I am the thorn within

I am the thorn within
