Never rests

Are you ready to conceive
Are you ready to come
Are you ready to be one
Is now for real
You suffocate
With fear of pain
From your vein
The straps are tightened
For pleasured pain

The whole "are you ready to come" might deal with a retorical acknoledgment with the fate of the song's subject, or victom...
