Can you hear me, Father
Do you see the evil in my eyes
Feel the seduction in my touch
Smell the destruction that is my perfume
I want to confess my sins
So listen to them all
See them in your mind
Hear them in your nightmares
I have slain the innocent
With a look of malice
I have tortured children
With threats to their families
I have sold m soul
To Devils long ago
I have stolen a gift
To give to the Heathen Gods
I have cut my skin
To see the blood within
I have cursed the Christian Lord
To ease my pain and sufferig
Are you listening, Father
I'm not finished yet
There's still so much more to confess
Although you've probably had enough
I have raped a child
In it's mind
I have butchered livestock
In sacrifice to my deities
I have burned someones home
To entertain my brain
I have lain with another
To feel the pleasure of sin
I have drank innocent blood
To feed my inner demon
I have forsaken the curch
To persue my earthly pleasures
Still listening, Father
I sincerely hope you are
It might prove worth while
Heck, you might think I'm a loon
I have summoned demons
So I could share their wisdom
I have been a glutton
So I could watch others suffer
I have vandalized Holy ground
To hear worshipers scream
I have tormented saints
To lie with fellow sinners
I have coveted beauty
To e assured ofmy ugliness
I have mocked the cruifixion
To raise up the AntiChrist
You look horrified, Father
Am I really so demonic
Will you not listen to my furher exploits
Please listen....for my salvation
I have burned a Bible
Just to see the look on your face
I have lied to myself and others
Just to hide from my convictions
I have massacered graves
To instill fear in innocent minds
I have spoken in Tongues
To terrify th believers
I have broken the heart of my love
o save him and myself from harm
I ave banished friends from my side
To escape the battles they fight
Father, I am no innocent
I know I'm going to Hell
But I believe I can be good
I wantto be one of God's children again
