Wound upon woundFather, I sowed in my fleshJust to wash my soulFrom the soot of sinBowed and brokenI pray for death to take meFor a grave right there beside youI want to trade my youth

For the light of lifeHas gone out in my eyesAnd my whole worldHas turned into hellGod’s holy lightLights my way in vainNot one step furtherDo I have the strength to take

I want to be freedFrom life’s heavy burdenThis bleeding heartTo lay in the earth forever,Let the doors of salvationOpen for my soulFor my wasting bodyLet them find shelter beside you
