Scream the Rage

 

I will sing the pain, give voice to the sadness
of tearing flesh and unending madness
Child, scream the rage

I want what you cannot, want what you never could begin to give me
Tell me that you lied, take it back, if you must, apologize
Child, scream the rage

You cannot know, cannot begin to feel the anger, pain, and fury
Deepest burning pits of hell cannot contain the torment I feel
Child, scream the rage

Guilty in the first degree of childhood and being needy
Sentenced by a Judas-court the Goddess-Whore is judge and jury
Child, scream the rage

On the other side of midnight where the shadows walk and walls are breathing
Sacrificing innocence, Mother-Satan leaves me bleeding
Child, scream the rage

I totally reject ev'rything that you ever put inside me
Throw it in your face, your demon eyes, your lies, and pseudo-grace
Child, scream the rage

I will sing the pain, give voice to the madness
Of murdered souls and unending sadness
Child, sing the rage

• Dave N.
