Mark me with fear, I'm trembling

Send someone else instead

I know my world is ending

I can't repay my debt


Can I carry such a heavy burden?

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."

Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid

"Here I am, send me, send me."

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


Now, can they hear me when their hearts are hardened?

Now, can they see me when they close their eyes?

So let me tell you 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."

Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid

"Here I am, send me, send me."

Free and so unafraid

"Here I am, send me."


"Here I am, send me."
