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.
