Slaughtered in Their Dreams

Evil infects this place All innocence Nailed to a stake I see murder, I see rape I see children slaughtered in their dreams Shedding blood, in its wake There's no end to the hate So we're headed into the flames As we're paralyzed in this state Aggression is their messiah Resentment filled with twisted desire Tempers reveal true repulsion Unending blind devotion [Chorus] Live, how can they live Breathe, how can they breathe Sleep, how do they sleep When there are children slaughtered in their dreams Taking solace, giving pause Now the effect becomes the cause So destructive, so numb Sacrifice will not be enough Progression can never be achieved Soulless in the fiber of their being Deliverance attained by none Expression suppressed once again [Chorus] Butchered, maimed Mangled as they slept Slaughtered, tortured The part we've forgotten Was never to forget Slaughtered, tortured, murdered in their sleep The story we are told is a horror to believe How do we exist, rest and breathe Go about our lives with children dying as they dream
