Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Forgive me, Father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty
Of the life I feel within
[Verse 2]
When I'm branded
This mark of shame
Should I look down, disgraced
Or straight ahead
And know that you must blame?
[Verse 3]
I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I am, I am the thorn within
[Verse 4]
Forgive me, Father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty
When true guilt is from within
[Verse 5]
So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows
And will follow you
One and the same are we
[Verse 6]
I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I am, I am the thorn within
[Verse 7]
I do your time
I take your fall
I'm branded guilty
For us all
[Verse 8]
So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows
And will follow you
One and the same are we
[Verse 9]
I am your secrets
I am your sin
I am your guilty
And I am, I am the thorn within
[Verse 10]
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
