Silent, Never Silenced

lyrics

SILENT, NEVER SILENCED
THE DARK PUSHED DOWN, FOUND A WAY INTO YOUR SOUL
YOU CAME BACK BROKEN, COULDN’T FACE THE FAMILY SHAME
OUR PRECIOUS GIRL, WHEN I WIN THE WAR, THEY WILL KNOW YOUR NAME

WE ALWAYS HAD THE BOND OF FEAR BETWEEN
AND LEANED ON SISTER’S BREAST
I KNEW YOU HAD TO RUN WHEN DADDY LOST IT
I KISSED YOU GOOD LUCK AND YOU LEFT
OVER AND OVER AND OVER YOU DANCE FOR EVERY DIVE
OVER AND OVER A NEW SAVIOUR PROMISING THE SKIES
I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A TICKET
AND PLUCKED OUT THEIR EYES

SILENT, NEVER SILENCED
THE DARK PUSHED DOWN, FOUND A WAY INTO YOUR SOUL
YOU CAME BACK BROKEN, COULDN’T FACE THE FAMILY SHAME
‘OUR PRECIOUS GIRL’,
WHEN I WIN THE WAR, THEY WILL KNOW YOUR NAME

HOW COULD I STAND BACK AND HOPE TO SAVE YOU
PRAYING TO AN ABSENT GOD
A DANCE BECAME A TRICK BECAME A SHOT OF
CONSOLATION IN YOUR ARM
OVER AND OVER AND OVER WE SEE OUR SISTERS PLAY
THROUGH DARKENED DOORS WITH BLOODLUST
AND COLD CASH HOLDING SWAY
LET US STORM AND CASTLE AND TAKE THESE TEMPTATIONS AWAY

SILENT, NEVER SILENCED
THE DARK PUSHED DOWN, FOUND A WAY INTO YOUR SOUL
YOU CAME BACK BROKEN, COULDN’T FACE THE FAMILY SHAME
‘OUR PRECIOUS GIRL’.. CARVED NEXT TO YOUR NAME

OVER AND OVER AND OVER I COULDN’T KEEP YOU CLEAR
OF ALL THE GAPING JAWS THAT CAME TO PREY UPON YOUR FEARS
YOU ARE NOW A WHISPER
AND THEY’RE STILL HERE

SO WHAT IS ROTTEN, EVIL CRETIN?
WHAT IS ROTTEN IN YOUR MIND?
I AM FOLLOWING THE STENCH THAT LEADS TO YOU
I’LL CRAWL INTO YOUR BED WHERE I WILL SHARPEN ALL MY BLADES
HACK, SLICE AND FILLET MY WAY TO SOMETHING
AND EVERYTHING YOU’VE BOUGHT AND FUCKED AND KILLED
AND BOUGHT AND FUCKED AND KILLED AND BOUGHT AND FUCKED
AND KILLED UNTIL NOW
WILL BE BEAUTIFUL AGAIN
