"A Bastard's Shame" lyrics

You left me behind
You walked away without regret and never thought of me
I'm just a stain
But I found the strength to bloom among the pain

Blacklight reveals the blemish inside
The scars corrupt my heart beat
Unworthy of the forgiveness
Bestowed upon me without a price
The sins of my forebearer
Seared in my mind

Still I try
To reach for the truth
That gives me the strength to carry on
I'll find a way
To change my fate
And resist a bastard's shame

I've been forgotten
Cast down and left for dead
Doubt plagued my mind
But found strength to change within
Through the grief I have seen what this could mean
The curse dies here
It ends with me

I won't buckle beneath
The intrusive thoughts that haunt me
My blood turns from black to red
Purge the sickness from my veins

Still I try
To reach for the truth
That gives me the strength to carry on
I'll find a way
To change my fate
And resist a bastard's shame

I've been forgotten
Cast down and left for dead
Doubt plagued my mind
But found strength to change within
Through the grief I have seen what this could mean
The curse dies here
It ends with me

Bury my past in flames
I will ascend from the ash

I've been forgotten
Cast down and left for dead
Doubt plagued my mind
But found strength to change within
Through the grief I have seen what this could mean
The curse dies here
It ends with me

You left me behind
You walked away without regret and never thought of me
I'm just a stain
But I found the strength to bloom among the pain
