I've made my decisions    But this is not what I had envisioned    I've followed my heart    But my truest intentions always fell apart    Nothing speaks like blackened souls    Sometimes I'm so afraid    To think that for all eternity    I'll have to sleep in the bed I've made       I've tried to stay sane    But my past always catches up again    I've followed the path within    But it always seems to lead back to sin    Nothing speaks like a lover's kiss    Sometimes I fall to pleasure    Knowing that in the end    The punishment is too large to measure       Bow down. It's what you want    Bow down. It's what you need       And I know I've let you down    My shame and remorse scorn    And I'll be forever destined    To wear my crown of thorns       I've tried to trust    But my thought always return to lust    I've tried to be pure    But my feelings have never been so sure    Nothing speaks like eternal shame    Sometimes I falter    Head bowed down asking for forgiveness    At the foot of fate's alter
