O Holy Father

Father Father O Holy Father 

I have not yet confessed my sins to thee

For in the convent of my heart have I only looked to forsaken thee

And of my fallen brothers that stood within the devil's grace

Did they part take of the devil's fruit, and did they dine with me

I invoke that

In my youth the vitality of my cold-blood heart was given life

While the bloodstones that were my tears fell to the imprisonment of hell's unholy gates

Father Father O Holy Father

Forgive this transgressor 

That prays not but openly speak a testimony 

Of his confounded guilt 

And of his lust, his anger, and of his pride 

That reaches from the seven sins of man 

Father forgive this sinner 

This damn one

That knew not the love of God

Father Father O Holy Father 

I only seek my humanity in this hour of judgement 

So that I burn as a human and not as a soulless demon

That was once swallowed by a devil's ambition 

O Holy Father 

Please I ask 

That you find a way to forgive me.
