The Exorcism of Emily Rose:
|
|
|
IĄ¯ve been waking up in the middle of the night,
|
Ever since it woke me and choked me,
|
Pushed me around and held me down,
|
Frightening the living hell out of me.
|
|
It possesses the very inside of me.
|
Its face appears almost everywhere I look.
|
It turns faces into ghostly figures
|
It was my complete freedom that ĄŽthe thingĄ¯ took.
|
|
The doctor gave me pills for epilepsy,
|
But itĄ¯s not epilepsy that is haunting me.
|
ItĄ¯s the dark force that awakens at 3am.
|
ItĄ¯s Lucifer himself, the one you cannot see.
|
|
But why did it choose me Lord?
|
I would never ever sin.
|
Its name is not unidentifiable,
|
ItĄ¯s the one that dwells within.
|
|
Give me the exorcism priest,
|
Cast away this horrible beast.
|
ItĄ¯s forcing me, itĄ¯s hurting me,
|
ItĄ¯s rotting away my teeth.
|
|
I need your holy prayer and blessing.
|
The thing never lets me sleep.
|
It forces deadly actions upon me,
|
It tells me not to eat.
|
|
Priest, you tell me not to do what it says,
|
You tell me to ignore it.
|
But when I do, it gets angry at me
|
And sends me into a painful fit.
|
|
They say itĄ¯s a medical condition,
|
They say that IĄ¯m unwell.
|
But what the priest and I both know is,
|
ItĄ¯s he, the evil one. Can you not tell?
|
|
All this screaming and anger,
|
ItĄ¯s killing me underneath my skin.
|
Sprinkle holy water on me.
|
We will not let it win.
|
|
Its power keeps my mouth dry
|
ItĄ¯s turning me into a freak.
|
It takes over my body and chains me down
|
As soon as I try to speak.
|
|
I can never remember the moment it takes over me,
|
Why am I still trying not to cry?
|
Why wonĄ¯t these demons leave my body?
|
Why is God letting me die?
|
|
Give me a crucifix to wrap around my neck.
|
Hold it close and firmly to my heart.
|
I donĄ¯t want to have to make a choice here.
|
Please donĄ¯t let these demons tear me apart.
|
|
Mary, mother of God, I beg for your help.
|
I donĄ¯t want to have to choose between heaven and hell.
|
But for the world to hear my true, and touching story,
|
Would release me from this ghastly shell.
|
|
So take my body. Oh devil,
|
Please do your worst.
|
But I will warn the world about your repulsive trick.
|
I will warn them this is only your first.
