Discography:
1. Scoring The Flesh 3:28
Under the intense weight of guilt and sin
Discipline in hand, bearing the scars
Only a fraction of the suffering Christ faced
Penitents ready their Spugna and Disciplines
They walk the streets
As their ancestors did before them
Inflicting agony upon themselves
The skin tears
The blood flows
To suffer as Christ and the Martyrs suffered
The extremity of this self-mortification
Both condemned and praised
Is this truly penance?
The skin tears
The blood flows
To suffer as Christ and the Martyrs suffered
2. Burden Of Despair, Forever Laid To Rest... 3:28
As candles flicker in the frigid dark night
Mourners gather in droves
To carry their burden of despair
Prayer for the soul, the final hour
Silence falls...
Incense rises, the smoke ascends
Mourning continues
As the body rests within its final home
Penance and prayer are offered...
They prayed for peace
Yet it is hard to see light
Only dark shadows in the eternal night
Yet the smoke, we know the way
Eternal grace and mercy that Christ will lay
Time goes on
The dead yet aren't forgotten
The incense fades, yet scars of pain remain
Hearts trapped in endless chains...
3. The Casket Comes Forth... 2:31
A shallow, bitter grave
I approach the end
The sins of my life cling to me
I must repent
Penance taken for my past
Will it be enough?
Fears swirl endlessly through my head
As the coffin comes forth
Pray my final prayers
Throw myself at the feet of Christ
Was it enough?
After I lived in darkness, and turned away my face
Will I be forgiven, or is it too late?
A shallow, bitter grave
I approach the end
The sins of my life cling to me
I must repent
To have sin washed away or to be damned?
I close my eyes, breathe in the ghastly air
Today, I die with a sinful heart and guilty mind
