Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned
Find me guilty of the life I feel within
When I'm branded... this mark of shame
Should I look down disgraced
Or straight ahead and know that you must blame?
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, when true guilt is from within
So point your fingers... point right at me
For I am shadows, and will follow you
One and the same, are we!
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 us all
So point your fingers... point right at me
For I am shadows, and will follow you
One and the same, are we!
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
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within!
