Once again I've done it,
I know what you know I didn't do,
just sinners using my name again without permit,
how perplexed I feel you have no clue,
I'm dark by heart I know,
you don't need to remind me,
those who supports me my power I bestow,
didn't ask for their soul I guarantee,
predictable they say I am,
at one glance I'm seen as bad,
and all my schemes for you are nothing but sham,
yet an unbefitting price for it I demand,
leave me be! I say not even when you walk to me all bold
with no fear you eat with me not wearing any muff
yet after, you accuse me without pity of a sin I committed longer than been 'old'
to drag me down till I shatter badly on accusations of a life I currently snuff,
what other punishment do I deserve than those that have been foretold,
let me lie peacefully, painfully awaiting my judgement which is not a bluff,
yet no! you leave me not be with no hope of ever been consoled,
of what awaits me below, you say to reach there I haven't fallen far enough.
