Evil infects this place

All innocence

Nailed to a stake

I see murder

I see rape

I see children slaughtered in their dreams



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



Aggression is their messiah

Resentment filled with twisted desire

Tempers reveal true repulsion

Unending blind devotion



Live, how can they live?

Breathe, how can they breathe?

Sleep, how do they sleep?

When there are children slaughtered in their dreams



Taking solace, giving pause

Now the effect becomes the cause

So destructive, so numb

Sacrifice will not be enough



Progression can never be achieved

Soulless in the fiber of their being

Deliverance attained by none

Expression suppressed once again



Live, how can they live?

Breathe, how can they breathe?

Sleep, how do they sleep?

When there are children slaughtered in their dreams



Butchered

Maimed

Mangled as they slept

Slaughtered

Tortured

The part we've forgotten

Was never to forget



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
