A Crown Of Barbed Wire

A crown of barbed wire

Adorns my bleeding head

I suffer the pain of fire

I must envy the dead



Witness this pain I feel

Cold daggers in my spine

The agony is unreal

The intensity is mine



Razor blades slice my fingers

Jagged nails within my feet

Searing pain that lingers

Burning flesh within the heat



The torture that darkness brings

Screaming from this empty shell

The punishment for my sins

Condemning me straight to hell



Hanging from a rusted rope

Suspending over an endless shore

With an ocean of no hope

This is mine until I take no more
