Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. May. 26, 2021]

Black and blue
Not the colours for you
Sore and bruised
You suffer wrong

So unclean
Self denied the right to sleep
And still the shame lives on and on and on and on and on

Suffer long - give us something to stand on
Strength to be strong - something soft to land on
Suffer long

Depression breeds
Feeds the mouth of hate
Senseless shame, you bleed so numb
No fear, no pain, no pain
Your soul is dead
Sanctity has gone
Filled instead by all the guilt
Lives on and on and on

Suffer long - give me something to lean on
Strength to be strong - someone warm to feed from
Suffer long - and suffer all the children
Who's gonna save you now
Beaten by those whom your life depends on

Black and blue
That colour does not suit you
Sore and bruised
And still the shame goes on and on and on

Suffer long - give us something to stand on
Strength to be strong - something soft to land on
Suffer long - and suffer all the children
Who's going to save you now
Beaten by those whom your life depends on

And no pathetic attempts will
Bring back your trust in someone
Who's gonna save you now
Beaten by those whom your life depends on
