She hears his heavy breathing in the dark
His footsteps coming closer down the hall
Shes so ashamed, shes daddys secret love
She wants to cry, she wants to die, but he cant get enough
The bruises on his face will go away
Mom keeps him home from school till they fade
Shes sorry he was born and tells him so
He takes it in, he hangs his chin, he ducks another blow
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
He cries for hours, cries and never stops
He shakes so hard his little cradle rocks
Hell never have the chance to be brand new
Hell never walk, hell never talk, hes addicted too
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not take the lords name in vain
Thou shalt not cause thy children pain
God does not overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Honor thy children
