Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Evil infects this place
All innocence
Nailed to a stake
I see murder, I see rape
I see children slaughtered in their dreams
[Verse 2]
Shedding blood, in its wake
There's no end to the hate
So we're headed into the flames
As we're paralyzed in this state
[Verse 3]
Aggression is their messiah
Resentment filled with twisted desire
Tempers reveal true repulsion
Unending blind devotion
[Verse 4]
Live, how can they live?
Breathe, how can they breathe?
Sleep, how do they sleep?
When there are children slaughtered in their dreams
[Verse 5]
Taking solace, giving pause
Now the effect becomes the cause
So destructive, so numb
Sacrifice will not be enough
[Verse 6]
Progression can never be achieved
Soulless in the fiber of their being
Deliverance attained by none
Expression suppressed once again
[Verse 7]
Live, how can they live?
Breathe, how can they breathe?
Sleep, how do they sleep?
When there are children slaughtered in their dreams
[Verse 8]
Butchered
Maimed
Mangled as they slept
Slaughtered
Tortured
The part we've forgotten
Was never to forget
[Verse 9]
Slaughtered, tortured, murdered in their sleep
The story we are told is a horror to believe
How do we exist, rest and breathe
Go about our lives with children dying as they dream
