Modern Day Flagellant
I'm a modern-day flagellant
In a demented land
So come on darling
And take my hand
I'm a neo-follower
Of S&M
I find joy in bringing
My life to an end
I've got scars to attest
To the compulsions I possess
And I won't go unpunished
For the things that I do
'Cause I'm slow to learn
The pain in a burn
And I'm swift to keep
The punishment steep
'Cause that's the only way
To survive
It's rather ironic then
That I'm still alive
'Cause I'm a
Modern-day flagellant
Hoping to be saved
In the eyes of the world
Hoping to be cherished
Like sand makes a pearl
And I'm a neo-follower
Of S&M
In a world that's demented
And a land full of sin
Everything I do
It feels like a crime
And I've got to be punished
'Cause there isn't much time
I know he'll be coming
Maybe today
I know hell be coming
Judgement's not far away
And I've got scars to attest
To the compulsions I possess
And I won't go unpunished
For the things that I do
In a demented land
So come on darling
And take my hand
I'm a neo-follower
Of S&M
I find joy in bringing
My life to an end
I've got scars to attest
To the compulsions I possess
And I won't go unpunished
For the things that I do
'Cause I'm slow to learn
The pain in a burn
And I'm swift to keep
The punishment steep
'Cause that's the only way
To survive
It's rather ironic then
That I'm still alive
'Cause I'm a
Modern-day flagellant
Hoping to be saved
In the eyes of the world
Hoping to be cherished
Like sand makes a pearl
And I'm a neo-follower
Of S&M
In a world that's demented
And a land full of sin
Everything I do
It feels like a crime
And I've got to be punished
'Cause there isn't much time
I know he'll be coming
Maybe today
I know hell be coming
Judgement's not far away
And I've got scars to attest
To the compulsions I possess
And I won't go unpunished
For the things that I do
