Limp footsteps stump to my door
He's coming down the corridor
Tears wash my face, I cannot stand
These lessons taught
By father's wreckful hand
Dreadful moments
Always last too long
This pain and woe
Just can't be gone
Dreadful moments
Always last too long
This pain and woe
Just can't be gone
Mother, would you come and save me from this hell?
Oh, mother, I can't take this anymore
Please, oh please,
Let me feel your hand on me
Forevermore
I beg you crying out, cease reign of horror
Piercing silence is the only to reply
No one gives their aid no matter how I cry
Being fed to lions,
I'm left high and dry
Atrocity makes only of its own kind
Those never felt a gentle touch
Can solely clench their fists to grind
And bring this world so much of grief
Dreadful moments
Always last too long
This pain and woe
Just can't be gone
Dreadful moments
Always last too long
This pain and woe
Just can't be gone
Childhood of misery
Is lifelong injury
A burden hidden by the curtain of years
A trauma that could not be healed
Childhood of misery
Is lifelong injury
A burden hidden by the curtain of years
A trauma that could never be healed
Memories of fear and dread
Deeply sealed
