[Verse 1]
Limp footsteps stump to my door
He's coming down the corridor
Tears wash my face, I cannot stand
These lessons taught by father's wreakful hand
[Chorus]
Dreadful moments always last too long
This pain and woe just can't be gone
Dreadful moments always last too long
This pain and woe just can't be gone
[Post-Chorus]
Mother, would you come and save me from this hell
Oh, mother, I can't take this anymore
Please, oh please, let me feel your hand on me forevermore
I beg you crying out, cease reign of horror
Piercing silence is the only to reply
No one gives their aid no matter how I cry
Being fed to lions I'm left high and dry
[Verse 2]
Atrocity makes only of its own kind
Those never felt a gentle touch
Can solely clench their fists to grind
And bring this world so much of grief
[Chorus]
Dreadful moments always last too long
This pain and woe just can't be gone
Dreadful moments always last too long
This pain and woe just can't be gone
[Bridge]
Childhood of misery
Is lifelong injury
A burden hidden by the curtain of years
A trauma that could not be healed
Childhood of misery
Is lifelong injury
A burden hidden by the curtain of years
A trauma that could not be healed
[Outro]
Memories of fear and dread
Deeply sealed
