(1999)"Bestrafe mich" ("Punish me"), is the fourth track on the album "Sehnsucht" by Rammstein. It uses S&M imagery and wordplay to describe the relationship between man and God.

During performance of "Bestrafe mich", Till Lindemann (the band's vocalist) whips himself with a Cat o' nine tails.

It is one of the many songs on the album that contain a taboo topic.
