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