You always like to dress in black

To mourn the feelings that you lack

Sorrow, anger, hurt and pain

Forever on attack



Always saw the other view

Didn't know what you should do

Never got told the honest truth

You feel it twisted up your youth



Now your

Satan's child

Always running, mercy young and

Satan's child

On the darker side of wild

(Yeah)



Oh Yeah



You tried to read the books they banned

Colour to the life you planned

Bigger highs to numb their lies

They're always in demand



Stability had turned its cheek

Security's just for the weak

Your life is for the moment

And your future's looking bleak

because your



Satan's child

Soul in trouble, hurt on the double

Satan's child

On the darker side of wild

(Yeah)



Secretly living in your shame

Where they know you by another name

Laugh or cry, live or die

To you it's all the same

Because your



Satan's child

Easily bruising, sorrow cruising

Satan's child

On the darker side of wild



(Now you're)

Satan's child

Cold retribution the only solution

Satan's child

On the darker side of wild



On the darker side of wild
