about

Seth beginning to question what is happening in the circus seeing Jacob and others follow customers out in the woods, is quickly diverted by Maya seducing him in her trailer (song played on her radio)

lyrics

Well ever since i was young
seems I was born to be a sinner

my family had to cheat and steal
just to try to keep a dinner

but ill never forget what my father told me
the day I turned 7

he said son you may get your chance
but I know im not going to heaven


and he'd say
God forgive me
for the sins of my father
forgive my mother she know not what she do
and all though it ain't probably gonna do me no good
I say
god forgive me for the sinning that im about to do


Now if you fast forward thru life about 15 years
to find an eager young boy

with the sweetest of desires
standing in front of me

ya she pulled me in real close
and she whispered to me and she said

God forgive me for the sins of my mother
forgive my father he know not what he do
and although it ain't probably gonna do me no good
I said god forgive me for the sinning that im about to do

Now our story end's the night
I was leaving town for a show

when a man pushed me in the corner
said you got nowhere to go

well he must not have seen the scars on my arms
or the blood stains on my hands

so as I lay out that first punch
I heard these words again
and I heard

God forgive me for the sins of my father
forgive my mother
she know not what she do
and although it ain't probably gonna do me no good
I say
god forgive me
ya
god forgive me for the sinning
that im about to do
