I was born a filth. Or so they say My Sun she died Just when the morning commenced To rain what it’s left for me My blood’s debauched Or so they say Their eyes bellowing To breathe is a crime My death, their life This skin's been cursed Or so they say To His hands I surrender To the reaper’s claws I concede To my neighbors’ fangs I won’t For I’m not this filth Neither this blood And not this disease See through this curse I am who I am « return. |
