Take me down
Tear my skin
Make me bleed
Make me seeTake me down
Blacken my face
Bend me double
Make me freeTake me down
Into the stench
Suffocate me
Make me liveTake me down
And crush me
Until I sleep
And start to dreamTake me down
Into the darkness
Heart in mouth
Fear in my bonesTake me down
Make me pray
Make me sing
Make me praiseTake me down
To the black pit
Take me with you
So I can knowTake me down
To the black pit
Chained to friends
Who die tomorrow?Take me down
To the black pit
That I might also die
And unchain my soulTake me with you…
