Lyrics
Returning home to the murder scene
Chalk lines map the corners of my mind
A nightmare blur of yellow tape and flashing lights
I shudder still at what I've come home to find
It was so many years ago, I was a child
Still plaguing me is the question Why?
Why was I made to live on all alone
When my own family was allowed to die?
Oh, Father, why hast thou forsaken me?
You've left me all alone
With nowhere to call my home
In a silent song of steel you have betrayed me
And you've crushed my mortal soul, damned for eternity
I'm looking down upon my own hands now
And I can see my father's legacy
Every stroke of the pen belies the pain
My father's madness left inside of me
I am still wondering day after day
As my hands draw like they were his,
I wonder can they also draw the blood
Of my childhood innocence
Oh, Father, why hast thou forsaken me?
You've left me all alone
With nowhere to call my home
In a silent song of steel you have betrayed me
And you've crushed my mortal soul, damned for eternity
I feel the blood corsing in my veins
I feel the throb of my heart in my ears
I feel the rage building inside me
I feel the burden of these past ten years
I hear the scream of silent solitude
I hear his voice call out my name
I hear them taunt me from beyond the grave
I hear the patronizing blame
Oh God, why must I bear this weight alone?
Oh God, why was I left to live?
Oh God, I have to know the answers
What was I left on Earth to give?
Returning home to my senses now
The purpose of my life mapped out within my heart
I found the path of my existence
This is the end, and it's also the start
My hands will work their devil's magic
My life is mine to give, no life is mine to take
My father's legacy has left me
With phantom pain in daylight's wake
Oh, Father, I have not forsaken thee
I left you all alone
With nowhere to call your home
I feel my freedom stretching before me
My soul has been reborn and I taste my destiny
