THE HORDE

All the little girls
So perfect
So pretty

    you can take them
     the beast must feast

So hollow inside
And putrid
I savor

I hear you talking
But can you hear me?
   Can we play? Can we play?
     Before it's time to slay

    "We trust in him
    He'll protect us
    Look at what he can do
    Let him show the world
    How powerful we can be"

We, we, WE are the broken and scarred
Pull ourselves from the dark into the light
So the BATTLE, SO THE BATTLE BEGINS
Bruised and torn, we are the horde

I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND PUT A GUN TO MY HEAD
I CANNOT SILENCE THE VOICES, the voices until I'm dead
I do not want to hurt anyone but, still, I have to
WE MUST GIVE THE BEAST HIS DUE

   I have red socks
   I have blue socks, too
   You might be pregnant now

All the little girls
So perfect
So pretty

     you can take them
     the beast must feast

So hollow inside
And putrid
We savor

     We are GLORIOUS
     We will no longer be afraid
     Only through pain can you achieve your GREATNESS
     The impure are the untouched, the unburned, the unslain
     Those who have not been torn have no value in themselves and no place in this WORLD

We, we, WE are the broken and scarred
Pull ourselves from the dark into the light
So the BATTLE, SO THE BATTLE BEGINS
Bruised and torn, we are the horde

We
we
WE
ARE
THE
HORDE

     You are different from the rest
     Your heart is pure
     REJOICE
     The broken are the more evolved
     Rejoice
