Thank You Pain lyrics

So, slowly criminal, please tell me
how do you plead?
Now, honorable judges, ladies, gentlemanof the jury
please allow me to present my case...

Ha! What can you possibly present to rip a man
from his family, faith and friends?... Defense?
Listen before you convict,
you see, I never did intend to ruin anything!
Intent is a guilty conscience`s white flag against pride,
so I find you guilty of the crimes.

I know, although I don´t believe
it´s not only my afterlife I bereave
Appeals will be denied!

The line of duty calls for enforcement of laws
so you´re our property now
Intelligence has failed you somehow
Oh, what a shame you play this game!

Through senses,
What can we explain?
Not joy, not guilt, not pain
Is love the same?
This senseless argument in vain erodes, my sense of shame
Who´s to blame?

Thank you Pain! (for crippling my body)
God bless Suffering!
Thank you Pain! (for freeing my brain)
For preventing me from returning to the source again

So it shall be!
Now do you see the error of your ways?
of rats and men you speak,
standing up tall but you are weak.
A smiling thief
We are all murders, you see,
but you let taboo human chemistry blind your needs
Live is greed!
Logic won´t concede
Think about the statistics you feed
Think before you plead.

Through senses,
What can we explain?
Not joy, not fear, not pain
Is love the same?
this reckless argument in vain erodes my sense of shame
Who´s to blame?

Thank you, Pain! (for crippling my body)
God bless Suffering!
Thank you Pain! (for freeing my brain)
For preventing me from returning to the source again
