Desire of mortification
To achieve the extreme
To know the ultimate
To be a slave for a moment
The body offered up to cruelty
To the lash which whips on the skin
Which slashes the flesh, lacerates the back
To feel the blood, thick and warm
Flow over my wounds
Flagellation. ..
To thrust aside the limits
To say yes to death
Without fear, without remorse
To give up oneself to torture
Punishment and reward
The whip is ambiguous
It distills vice
In a perverse refinement
To be a slave for a moment
The body offered up to cruelty
To the lash which whips on the skin
Which slashes the flesh, lacerates the back
Pleasure in pain Desire of mortification To achieve the extreme To know the ultimate To be a slave for a moment The body offered up to cruelty To the lash which whips on the skin Which slashes the flesh, lacerates the back To feel the blood, thick and warm Flow over my wounds Flagellation. .. To thrust aside the limits To say yes to death Without fear, without remorse To give up oneself to torture Punishment and reward The whip is ambiguous It distills vice In a perverse refinement To be a slave for a moment The body offered up to cruelty To the lash which whips on the skin Which slashes the flesh, lacerates the back Explain Request ×
