Clandestine fear

Born into a life of agony
A victim of incestuous lust
The product of infinite hate
Another soul for the taking
Repressed in memory

Inundated by images of
The nightmares of the infliction
Too many have burned and shattered the mind
Of those who induced
The pondering acts of contrition
A soul was scorned

Clandestine fear - images in the darkness
Clandestine fear - memories of the violence

The torment of life and unbearable pain
Doesn't show in the physical eyes
The promise of hope, a promise of death
The only course in a cynical mind

The death of all innocence
To a vile injustice
In hate of it all

Well is to know that
To live is to die from the pain
A growing of hate
From the life of young in vain
A life has been betrayed
A soul was torn

Clandestine fear - images in the darkness
Clandestine fear - memories of the violent darkness

Born into a life of agony
A victim of incestuous lust
The product of infinite hate
Another soul for the taking
Too many have burned and shattered the mind

Well is to know that
To live is to die from the pain
A growing of hate
From the life of a youth in vain
A soul was torn
