lyrics

he arrives in early evening
as the sunlight melts into the dark
he sees her laying on the bed as
she waits for the ritual to start

he reaches out,
cold fingers grabbing
as she cries:

“father I am sorry
I didn't mean to let them in
please free my soul from this body
for I am nothing;
everything
about me is vanity”

she remembers when they started
with the demons whispering to her
the voices in her head grew stronger
telling her that she is damned and cursed

he has her now,
holding her down
as she screams:

“father I am sorry
I didn't mean to let them in
please free my soul from this body
for I am nothing;
everything
about me is vanity"

"I'm on my way
past the gates
and into the light
I'm on my way
finally free from this hell,
finally free from this fight"

and it took
sixty seven
times to
claim her life
as we cry:

father, I hope you’re sorry
you say you didn’t mean to take her life
and when you forced her soul from her body
she became
everything
and nothing
about her
is vanity
