You broke me upon your wheel,
punishing me for sins I cannot remember.
You left me in pain again and again,
in what way did I anger you?
-I confess, I confess; you put me to torture-
I will say anything.
End this! If you have control
as preachers state you do
release me, save me, let me be!
The world is populated by savages, all of us-
and we deserve a savage God,
but this punishment is too much for me,
I am too weak, too frail-
help me.
