The heart is beating
But the soul has died
The body's breathing
Beneath catatonic eyes
The blood is flowing
Set it free for tonight
I've lost my balance
But god knows I've tried
I don't wanna be here anymore in scarlet letters
Got to do, what once was me, once was yours, no more
An up hill battle
I fail to climb
Left it all now
And I don't mind
The train is broken
Consumed by the light
Farewell to you all
I'll be fine, goodbye [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/mudvayne/scarlet_letters.html ]
I don't wanna be here anymore in scarlet letters
Got to do, what once was me, once was yours, no more
I don't wanna be here anymore the scarlet letter
Turn into, a piece of me, the piece in you, no more
Do you believe in loss?
Do you believe in faith?
Do you believe in death?
Now that I'm a ghost
Forsaken me
Ashes to dust
Just let me lie
Lay me to rest
I've done my best
But lost my sight
Turning my back
Leave me alone
Let spirits rise
Knives in my back
All hope is lost
Say goodbye
I don't wanna be here anymore in scarlet letters
Got to do, what once was me, once was yours, no more
I don't want to be here anymore
I don't want to be here anymore in scarlet letters
Carved into
What once was me
Once was yours
No more
I believe the correct lyrics are as follows and these come from the sleeve of the cd.
The heart is beating, but the soul has died
my body's breathing beneath catatonic eyes
the blood is flowing, set it free for demise
i've lost my balance but god knows i tried
I don't want to be here anymore in scarlet letters
carved into what once was me
once was yours no more
An uphill battle i failed to climb
i left it all now and i don't mind
betrayed and broken consumed by the lies
farewell to you all, i'll be fine
goodbye
I don't want to be here anymore in scarlet letters
carved into what once was me
once was yours no more
I don't want to be here anymore the scarlet letter
torn in two, a piece of me, the peace in you no more
Do you believe in loss? Do you believe in faith? Do you believe in death? Now that i'm gone..
Forsaken me, ashes to dust, just let me lie
lay me to rest, i've done my best but lost my sight
turning my back, leave me alone, let spirit rise
knives in my back, all hope is lost
say goodbye
I don't want to be here anymore in scarlet letters
got to do, what once was me once was yours, no more
I don't... Want to... Be here... Anymore
i don't want to be here anymore the scarlet letters
Carved into... What once was me... Once was yours
no more...

It was the upper case letter "a". The scarlet letter "a" represents the act of adultery that she has committed and it is to be a symbol of her sin a badge of shame for all to see. A man in the crowd tells an elderly onlooker that hester is being punished for adultery. Hester's husband, who is much older than she is, sent her ahead to america while he settled some affairs in europe. However, her husband never arrived in boston. The consensus is that he has been lost at sea. While waiting for her husband, hester has apparently had an affair, as she has given birth to a child. She will not reveal her lovers identity, however, and the scarlet letter, along with her public shaming, is her punishment for her sin and her secrecy. On this day hester is led to the town scaffold and harangued by the town fathers, but she again refuses to identify her childs father. [1]
