Terrific tragedy and a terrible ensemble,
Melodies retrace the backsteps and hold the note,
The strings play the 'Death Waltz' with a thunderous ring,
Music fills the air with a breath of fresh despair and haunting dares,
Severance from the umbilical cord for a lasting slice of the horror.

Walk away child, child walk away, walk away child,
From the evil, the terror, the complete horror of torture,
Run child, child run, run child, child run,
From the blade, the stake, the complete evil we made.

Some people cannot be saved, we cannot make claim,
Sometimes we just can't hold on, cannot be done.

With hatchet in hand we stalk the village of man,
Blood in our eyes we see the power in our prize,
Run people, run from our hatred our blood-born violence,
Run for the gun to cut us down, one by one but we are not done,
This is the orchestra of tragedy, the formation of diversity.

Walk away child, child walk away, walk away child,
From the evil, the terror, the complete horror of torture,
Run child, child run, run child, child run,
From the blade, the stake, the complete evil we made.

We are the dark, the nightmare blown apart, the evil card,
Right from the start, birthing an evil heart, leaving our mark.

This cold steel is only friend to the copper shell,
Discharge the hammer for the coming dark winter,
We will remain in history, these books make misery,
You will know us far and wide, like a glass shard in the thigh,
We will be written for many to read, we will be the hated memory.

Walk away child, child walk away, walk away child,
From the evil, the terror, the complete horror of torture,
Run child, child run, run child, child run,
From the blade, the stake, the complete evil we made.

We weren't supposed to be like this, this wasn't written in the script,
If we knew then what we know now, would we have drowned ourselves in the ground...

Youthful days, giving praise, just one more skip away,
Maybe we slipped today, another fallen grace, the home lit ablaze,
Sentence of life, for all who died, we will see through their eyes,
Mistakes we hide, all the times we tried, filled with lies,
In dark stride, we hunt your pride, with blood in eyes.

Some people cannot be saved, some of us...are not worth the time...

nice writr Fear...... as allways

as a race, i think its the unfortunate truth

"We are the dark, the nightmare blown apart, the evil card,
Right from the start, birthing an evil heart, leaving our mark."

"We are the dark, the nightmare, blown apart, the evil card,
Right from the start, birthing an evil heart, leaving our mark."

Thank you, pkd! I really wanted that break to level the lyric and set the chord for the coming verses.
