What have I done?
Sweet Jesus, what have I done?!
Become a sinner in the night,
Become a dog on the run

Have I fallen so far-
And is the hour so late-
That nothing remains but the hate I create!

The cries in the dark that nobody hears-
Here where I stand as I wipe the tears of the years?!

If there's another way to go
I missed it twenty long years ago
My life was a war that could never be won.
My father found out and he kicked out his son

Threw me out and left me for dead
Just for liking a man instead


Yet why did I allow that man
To touch my soul and teach me love?
He treated me like any other
He gave me his trust
He called me his lover

My life he claims he'll fill with love
Can such things be?
For I had come to hate the world
This world that always hated me


Take an eye for an eye
Turn your heart into stone
He is all I have lived for
This is all I have known


One word from him and I'd be back
Beneath the lash, upon the rack
Instead, he offers me freedom
I feel my love inside me like a knife

He told me that I have a soul
How does he know?
What spirit comes to move my life?
There isn't another way to go

I am reaching, but I fall
And the night is closing in
As I stare into the void
To the whirlpool of my sin

I'll escape now from that world
And join my god of sun,
That man's scared son is nothing now
