Nein Lyrics - Otep

My pain, my pride, these scars are mine 

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 five 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, and 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, hurt her, hate him 

Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them 

My pain, my pride, these scars are mine 

My pain, my pride, these scars are mine, my pain 

My misery has been formulated into an equation of nine 

My sanity wrote a suicide note but 

One of us is illiterate and the other is blind 

My first act of treason was picking up a pen 

My first 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, hurt her, hate him 

Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them 

My pain, my pride, these scars are mine 

My pain, my pride, these scars are mine, my pain 

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 

Vae victus, abomination 

Vae victus, abomination
