Lyrics Mortification of the Flesh - The Heretic Order

Mortification of the Flesh

I find myself I am alone in my cell
A cross hangs tall on the wall it’s my lord
And I need the pain to wash out my sins
And I feel I’m graced, I will cleanse my soul
Screaming from the bottom of the pit
Through pain I search and seek my soul
Bleeding all my torture is self inflict
Starting to believe I see my god
Whip and I whip and I whip my back
In search of ecstasy
I heard all the saints are calling my name
Am I a holy man
Mortification of my flesh
Praying for a sign to show the way
The silence makes me doubt my faith
Ripping all my flesh down to the bone
I can see the light it starts to glow
I bleed and I bleed and I bleed in vain
To see the sign I need
I hear all the martyrs are praising my name
Am I a holy man
Mortification of my flesh
Whip and I whip and I whip my back
In search of ecstasy
I heard all the saints are calling my name
Am I a holy man
Mortification of my flesh
I lie awake on the floor it’s so cold
My blood still flows am I gone can’t recall
And I feel god is gone he abandons us all
And I see he won’t come am I back to the dark
