Deliver Me Unto Pain - Banished

Cut my flesh I bleed

Know my heart I’ll cry

In my soul I feel

That the flesh must die

My soul was awakened

When the pain was brought

Mocked and feared

When relief was sought

Hatred and pain make

The soul grow fonder

Of death, or is it mankind?

I say hate and pain

Make the flesh weak

And the soul strong

Brush my heart

And you will find

Callous and scars

Look inside you will find

I long to gain liberation

Of the soul

Deliver my unto pain I say

Strengthen my soul’s curiosity

Though I long to escape this place

I need the pain to show me the way

Chastise and scorn me, flog or crucify

Sink your implements deep into

My heart, mind, flesh

But you will never take my life

I’ll not die by your hand

I’ll not die by your hand

My blood will cleanse my flesh

My blood will cleanse my flesh
