The Virgin of Nuremberg

I renounce the Devil and his works!
How many times must I say these words?
The pain is unbearable!
No more! No more!
Kicking and screaming I am forced upon the rack
The tension increases until my bones crack.
You haven't found the Devil's mark!
I am a victim of a madman's obsessions.
Will no one believe a heretic's confession?
The pain is excrutiating!
Please stop! Please stop!
If I have confessed, why am I damned?!
Father, I place my spirit in your hands.
Silence!
...but the horrifying ordeal does not end
and the torture cycle will begin again
as I gaze upon the fate that awaits every heathen
and stare into the cold, dead eyes of the Iron Maiden.
