"Nein" lyrics - OTEP

My pain, my pride
These scars are mine

My pain, my pride
These scars are mine

I will tell you a story,
That's never been told

I will tell you a secret,
5 lifetimes old...

My life has been a prison,
A labyrinth built beneath the mountain of Tragedy.

I'm a stain on the cloth.
I'm just an after-thought.

But i
Would die
For this...

But through the veins of decay
I'll remain to betray

To live like Caesar.
To die like Jesus.

To build my own religion,
No gods, no laws

To celebrate pain
Forsaken and ashamed

To watch them all,
Crawl beneath us...

On this bed of nails and regret
Dying of fevers, betrayal, & sweat

I CRY...

My organs are rotting,
My enemies are plotting...

I am made of pages
Paragraphs and inspirations
Paper girl, burn the world,
I pass the flame to you!

Murder
Mayhem
Hurt her
Hate him

Murder
Mayhem
Hurt her
Hate him

Murder mayhem
Hurt her hate him

Murder
Mayhem
Fuck her
Slay them!

My pain, my pride
These scars are mine

My pain...

My misery has been formulated
Into an equation of nien

My sanity wrote
A suicide note
But one of us is illiterate
And the other... is blind

MY 1st ACT OF TREASON
Was picking up a pen

MY 1st ACT OF LOVE
Was finding myself again

The hardest thing to do
Was standing up to you

Now I'm off my knees
Now you're begging me "please"

I'm the wound and the weapon
The fracture and the fist

My organs are rotting,
My enemies are plotting...

I am made of pages
Paragraphs and inspirations
Paper girl, burn the world,
I pass the flame to you!

Murder
Mayhem
Hurt her
Hate him

Murder
Mayhem
Hurt her
Hate him

Murder mayhem
Hurt her hate him

Murder
Mayhem
Fuck her
Slay them!

That stabbing in your heart,
That black hole in your soul,
Slowly ripping you apart... that's me!

That's me!

So let it be written,
So let it be done!

The brighter they shine,
The darker we become!

Vae victus!
Abomination!
