Songtext von Periodic Destruction

They called me a heretic So I deserved nothing but torment For what they seemed to see In my views First they arrested me And locked me into a cell A chamber that was out of reach For the light of day In The darkness, I heard things I've never heard before Step by step I began to feel empty and faint After days of attrition They started their procedure A bestial torture They called me a heretic So I deserved nothing but torment For what they seemed to see In my views A mummed torturer entered the room A relentless man without remorse Bloodshed wasn't allowed by the church So he used other ways to violate me He put screws into my thumbs And into my knees He blemished my body With blistering steel My neck was enfeebled By a tremendously heavy rosary With broken bones And luxated arms I was no longer able to walk No longer able to grip Mutilated because of my ideas They called me a heretic So I deserved nothing but torment For what they seemed to see In my views
