Thorn within

        Forgive me father

        For I have sinned

        Find me guilty of the life I feel within

        

        When I'm branded

        This mark of shame

        So I look down disgraced for saying I know that you must feel

        

        I am, I am the secret

        I am, I am the sin

        I am, I am the guilty

        And I am, I am the thorn within

        

        Forgive me father

        For I have sinned

        Find me guilty with true guilt that's from within

        

        So point your fingers

        Point right at me

        For I am shadows and will follow you whatever see my way

        

        I am, I am the secret

        I am, I am the sin

        I am, I am the guilty

        And I am, I am the thorn within

        

        I do your time 

        I take your fall

        I'm branded guilty for a soul

        

        So point your fingers

        Point right at me

        For I am shadows and will follow you whatever see my way

        

        I am, I am your secrets

        I am, I am your sin

        I am, I am your guilty

        And I am, I am the thorn within

        I am the thorn within
