act of contrition

• madonna'nın like a prayer adlı şarkısının tersten kaydedilmiş hali.
• like a prayer şarkısının chorus kısmı tersten kaydedilmiştir ve fakat madonna'nın aşağıdaki fısıltıları ve sözleri yer almaktadır:
  
  (fısıltı)
  for thou art the kingdom and the power and the glory
  forever and ever. amen.
  hail mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee,
  blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy...
  
  ( konuşma )
  oh my god, i am heartily sorry for having offended thee
  and i detest all my sins because of thy just punishment
  but most of all, because i have offended thee, oh my god
  who art all good and deserving of all my love.
  i firmly resolve with the help of thy grace
  to confess my sins, to do penance, to amend my life,
  and to avoid the temptations of evil.
  
  oh my god, i am heartily sorry for having offended thee
  and i detest all my sins because of thy just punishment
  but most of all, because my god, i have offended thee
  who art all good
  like i knew you would
  and deserving of all my love
  i reserve, i reserve, i reserve
  i reserve, i resolve
  i have a reservation
  i have a reservation!
  what do you mean it's not in the computer??!!

  sozleri ise soyle :
  
  emotions are easily spent, twisted and forever bent.
  when fixations are not returned the lines are so quickly obscured.
  
  when i am haunted by your vision, i will cause you pain.
  at me you spit your derision, you are my obsession.
  you are repelled by my existence, but you will soon be trained.
  my sins atoned for in silence, an act of contrition.
  
  held before my eyes though distant enough to be seen,
  if i were to pull it too close, i'd blur it to its full extreme.
  
  i'm barren of anything else,
  a lunatic's need to possess you.
  
  when i am haunted by your vision, i will cause you pain.
  at me you spit your derision, you are my obsession.
  you are repelled by my existence, but you will soon be trained.
  my sins atoned for in silence, an act of contrition.
  
  rational thought
  has vanished and fled for its life.
  the one goal after which i've sought
  it's upon your fear that i thrive.
  
  when written words are now legible,
  the story can be told.
  but when they're thrust too close to my eyes,
  they become a blindfold.
  
  and it's then reality,
  fades into obscurity.
  
  then i find that my mania is out of control.
  i tighten the grip on my obsession, but i can't be consoled.
  
  now it's made me dangerous
  to all but you i'm oblivious.
  
  distortions, perverse and unfair, you're threatened as i dominate.
  you need me, so why are you scared? from
  my grasp there is no escape.
  
  don't you ever think of leaving me.
  you are mine until i set you free.
  the pain you feel is of no consequence.
  many suffer, few survive...
  
  i'm not one with whom to be toyed, your mind easily i'll destroy.
  enforcing my supremacy, accept me, i'm your destiny.
  
  when i am haunted by your vision, i will cause you pain.
  at me you spit your derision, you are my obsession.
  you are repelled by my existence, but you will soon be trained.

• aynı zamanda bir battlestar galactica bölümü.
• like a prayer‘ın kapatıcısı. albüme ismini veren şarkının tersten kaydedilmesi ve üzerine prince‘in çaldığı gitarlara madonna’nın gelişi güzel söylediği sözlerin eklenmesi ile oluşturulmuştur. dua ile başlayıp madonna’nın cennete girişte tanrı tarafından reddedilmesini konu almaktadır. kısa ve komiktir, ayrıca besteciler kısmında yalnızca “üstün güçler” ibaresine yer verilmiştir.
  
  madonna’nın mizah anlayışının güzel bir yansımasıdır.
  
  ha bir de albümü ilk dinlediğim zamanlarda gece yatakta yatıyordum ve tam uyuklarken madonna’nın sondaki sert sesiyle zınk diye fırlamıştım. o gün bugündür biraz korktuğum parçadır o yüzden.
