Turn to me and help me
I am lonely and hurting
Take away the troubles of my heart
Set me free from my great pain

Look at how I'm hurting!
See how much I suffer!
Take away all my sins

Look at how many enemies I have!
See how terrible their hatred is for me!

Guard my life
Save me

Don't let me be put to shame
I go to you for safety

May my honest and good life keep me safe
Lord, I have put my hope in you

Miscellaneous stuff:
At the time the compilation was being finalized, neither Michael nor myself had the logo for Ascetic Despair on hand (that was my fault), so I threw together a placeholder using a generic medieval font (Cloister Black). It was never an "official logo" obviously, but here it is for reference anyway.
