Lyrics
SUICIDE FOR JESUS
Six pills, a warm bath
and a razor to her wrists
In Mother's chambers she lay her sorry frame
Water drips like ticks of a church clock
A red cloud conceals her moral shame
She opened her heart with hope to regain
The love and protection that died with her father
It was he who was armor from the lashes of the wicked
Who accused upon end her impurity
Suicide for Jesus
sacrifice to the skin
Perpetuate misconduct
and punish again
Suicide for Jesus
penetrate within
Negotiate forgiveness
then trespass again
The new shelter she tried was wrought with a cost
For temples of gold,
what could be free?
He serviced his due by way of transgression
And left upon her no chastity
Suicide for Jesus
sacrifice to the skin
Perpetuate misconduct
and punish again
Suicide for Jesus
penetrate within
Negotiate forgiveness
then trespass again
In due time it be known
the true cause of this deed
twas not as first thought, a strange girl's wish to bleed
Rather, the man
with whom mother Replaced her first mate
was indeed the force of her daughter's ill-fate
Suicide for Jesus
sacrifice to the skin
Perpetuate misconduct
then punish again
Suicide for Jesus
penetrate within
Negotiate forgiveness
then trespass again
Suicide for Jesus
posture with a grin
The preachers teach the sinners
to live and die for sin
