Reprehensible

Each night I lie awake completely alone

A voice is speaking and I tremble

For it's not my own, my own

I can't ignore it, although I try

The intrusive whisper fascinates me

Here's why, here's why

The shadows gather 'round as the voice recites

The secret history of my immortal soul

Indestructible, indefensible, reprehensible

10,000 years of unerasable acts

And permanent facts

The record of my unspeakable crimes

In previous lives, in previous times

Indelibly stains, the pages of history

Indestructible, indefensible, reprehensible

Night after night the voice recites my misdeeds

And puts me to sleep

And tells me I won't remember a thing

When morning comes at last, I rub my eyes

Forgetting everything and thinking

Only of my plans, my plans

The world is spinning 'round and I'm on the top

And nothing in the world can ever make me stop

Indestructible, indefensible, reprehensible

10,000 years of unerasable acts

And permanent facts and only I know

Who's responsible

Indefensible, reprehensible, me
