This is the greasy rope
The broken wreck
I see the twisted hope
Strung around your neck

This hopeless dream
This sordid stream
I whisper once again
Praying for the end

Your secret skin will shelter me
Your secret skin can't hide your shame
Your secret skin will smell of me
Your secret skin can't hide your name
Secret skin
Your secret skin

Sin Sex Salvation

Once more obey the bloody fist
Once more betrayed by your open wrist
One more rusty nail, a sordid crime
One more spreading stain upon your shrine

Your secret skin will shelter me
Your secret skin can't hide your shame
Your secret skin will smell of me
Your secret skin can't hide your name
Your secret skin
Your secret skin
[spoken German]

Once more obey this bloody fist
Betray your open bloody wrist
One rusty nail, one sordid crime
The spreading stain upon your shrine

Your secret skin
Your secret skin will shelter me
Your secret skin can't hide your shame
Your secret skin will smell of me
Your secret skin can't hide your name
Your secret skin will shelter me
Your secret skin can't hide your shame
Your secret skin will smell of me
Your secret skin can't hide your name
