About the Artist
Lyrics
Mark me with fear and trembling Send someone else instead I know my world is ending I can't repay my debt How can I carry such a heavy burden? How can I move when I am paralyzed? I see a fire behind a heavy curtain I lean in closer and I close my eyes Kiss the coals Breathe in smoke and I say "Here I am, send me" It lifts my soul I'm free and so unafraid Here I am, send me, send me I'm free and so unafraid Here I am, send me Mark me with fire and send me Among the living dead They cannot comprehend me I watch the sickness spread How can they hear me when their hearts are hardened? How can they see me when they close their eyes? Still they can tell that I'm an easy target A wooden saw is quite a way to die Kiss the coals Breathe in smoke and I say "Here I am, send me" It lifts my soul I'm free and so unafraid Here I am, send me, send me I'm free and so unafraid Here I am, send me Here I am, send me.
