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
