Lyrics

Silent Scream

Nightmare, The persecution A child's dream of death Torment, Ill forgotten A soul that will never rest Guidance, It means nothing In a world of brutal time Electric, Circuits, Wild Deep in the infants mind Silent Scream Bury the unwanted child Beaten and torn Sacrifice the unborn Shattered, Adolescent (another child) Bearer of no name Restrained, Insane games Suffer the children condemned Scattered, Remnants of life Murder a time to die Pain, Sufferaged toyed Life's little fragments destroyed Silent Scream Crucify the bastard sons Beaten and torn Sanctify lives of scorn Life preordained Humanity maintained Extraction termination Pain's agonizing stain Embryonic death Embedded in your brain Suffocation, Strangulation Death is fucking you insane Nightmare, The persecution A child's dream of death Torment, Ill forgotten A soul that will never rest Innocence withdrawn in fear Fires burning can you hear Cries in the night
