lyrics

how can I take you serious
is it a matter of respect?
when can I make a joke of this?
I’ll avoid my problems instead
father please speak to me
show me now what is next
father please bleed for me
face their blade in my stead

I wish I was born without destiny
I don’t wear my divine purpose well
best regards I’ll see you there in hell

all these years have hardened you
and you dare not give me a smile
you are not that sweet young thing
and you have not been in a while
brother please make love with me
we are one in the eyes of a god
we are children of suffering
we deserve the things that we want
give it to me

I wish I was born without these systems
the kind that show me how to use your body
I know I was born into my freedom
change my mind and felt euphoria swell
oh lord
best regards I’ll see you there in hell
