lyrics

Hear you: Have me beaten,
And brought down to my knees.
Pray you, that this supple pound of
Flesh is enough to appease
That I let go. Let go! Let go from me.

My humblest offerings.

Let me decay, so that I can shed my skin!
May all that I have left to bear be mine—
And mine alone!

Strip me to the atom! Make me new again!
And all I’ll have to carry will be mine—
And mine alone!

If I give all I owe, is the debt settled?

If I may ask you, martyr to martyr.
At the end of sacrifice, will I be reborn with honor?
Do I deserve? Deserve! What do I deserve?

The sterile fruits of strained labor.
