They called me a heretic

So I deserved nothing but torment

For what they seemed to see

In my views

First they arrested me

And locked me into a cell

A chamber that was out of reach

For the light of day

In The darkness, I heard things

I've never heard before

Step by step I began to feel empty and faint

After days of attrition

They started their procedure

A bestial torture

They called me a heretic

So I deserved nothing but torment

For what they seemed to see

In my views

A mummed torturer entered the room

A relentless man without remorse

Bloodshed wasn't allowed by the church

So he used other ways to violate me

He put screws into my thumbs

And into my knees

He blemished my body

With blistering steel

My neck was enfeebled

By a tremendously heavy rosary

With broken bones

And luxated arms

I was no longer able to walk,

No longer able to grip

Mutilated because of my ideas

They called me a heretic

So I deserved nothing but torment

For what they seemed to see

In my views
