First Day in Hell

Torn from home Sent down death's railroad are we When we wake up tomorrow Will we still be wearing this curse? Will we wake up tomorrow? Which punishment is worse? Day one: No sun Stripped of our names Now we are merely numbers Permanently inked in the flames Our kind Our existence lights the fire Igniting hell on earth Archangels bending crosses hooked Innocent men, women, children Sentenced before conviction With golden stars to guide them Their gavel is the end of a gun Day two: Lived through More culprits arrive Every cage so crowded How will we survive through the night? Our kind Our existence lights the fire Igniting hell on earth Archangels bending crosses Hooked First day in hell First day in hell See the terror in abandoned gazes Fear sunken eyes Get the guards and walk a dozen paces Saturnine First day in hell Incarcerated without reason Doomed by blood Anti-venom for a poisoned nation Our birth right Week five: Alive Soon out of time After all that I've here witnessed There's no value in life Our kind Our existence lights the fire Igniting hell on earth Archangels bending crosses Hooked First day in hell First week in hell See the terror in abandoned gazes Fear sunken eyes Get the guards and walk a dozen paces Saturnine First month in hell Incarcerated without reason Doomed by blood Anti-venom for a poisoned nation Our birth right Last day in hell
