Scarlet Letters lyrics

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...

Cheers!

Correction;the blood is flowing set it free for demise

The novel takes place in 17th-century boston, massachusetts during the summer, in a then puritan village. A young woman name hester prynne, is led from the town prison with her infant daughter pearl in her arms and on the breast of her gown "a rag of scarlet cloth" that "assumed the shape of a letter. 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 lover’s 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 child’s father. [1]
