don't be afraid he said
when he took his hand
slowly drove him mad when
he filled his head with sand

no one knew
not even mother dear
she just cleaned her shelves
her mind was struck with fear

several years went by but
nothing changed at all
once I thought I heard the boy cry
thought he took a fall but no

no one knew
what went on
until it was too late
he shot him

no one knew
anything about you
no one knew
anything

and in the end
everything seemed lost
he could not defend
his right to live

no one knew
anyhting about you
