A Thousand Damned Souls

Where do we turn from here, on the road of the lost
Where can we run to from here, constantly dealing with the cost
What can we do to turn away, our eyes are addicted to this
What do we do when we run, escaping death’s kiss

The city of the damned gives birth to a thousand damned souls
Thrown to the wolves and covered with bloodied holes
Bitten by teeth and scratched with claws that demand sacrifice
Given all they can, Broken till they can’t stand, This is out of hand

Fed poison as meals and made to lie and cheat and steal
Breathing in gas released by loved ones just to be forced down
Scarred faces are never seen beneath the paint of a clown
Lungs collapse, Lapse of judgment, They’re in a relapse

Every day we watch them die, Without a tear in our eye
Every night we watch them cry, Without a mournful sigh
Every day we watch them fly, To heavens hidden in the sky
Every night we watch them try, To understand why, just why
