I've made a few mistakes Don't think I'll ever live them down I'm a prisoner of guilt To my past forever bound To follow the straight and narrow was always on my mind But I let my guard down, I tripped the line Never ever thought I would take a fall Didn't think it would happen, no I was too strong Forever haunted by a beast on my back Deceitful temptation, a planned attack I'm a victim of the evil one Can't turn around, live my life on the turn My mind's plagued with guilt 'Til the day I die I want to live a better life Believe me I try Prayed that the past would soon disappear No matter how hard I try My memory is clear The wicked law prevails Intentions have turned sour Intensity of evil grows Stronger by the hour Once again I've lost my balance
And stumbled to the ground Will I ever be free? How long shall I be bound? I despise the vice I worship Hope it's not too late A weak and spineless victim Doing what I hate Temptations - seize me and I become a slave Succumbing - to human nature No man can save me! Beast on my back In agony I dwell Beast on my back This is a living hell I've felt this way before So empty inside Trust the promises of the world To find out that they've lied The nightmare is now over The scars shall never fade Etched into my memory Are the mistakes that I have made What a wretched being Such unease! Trapped within this shell of d**h Rescue me! Alas! The spirit of life Freed from sin! The fight is not yet over But we'll win! Win!
