|
AN ANCIENT INHERITED SHAME
|
(Music: Hoglan, Lyrics: Hoglan, Additional lyrics: Rinehart)
|
|
Femininity, a sacred life
|
My goals and dreams achieved, or soon they might
|
Unintruded being, innocent
|
Young, with a hopeful future to be spent
|
|
I can't believe my idiocy
|
You came along with your invasion
|
Your act of violence not of lust
|
Upon me...
|
|
Racing through these darkened streets at night
|
Fleeing from this terror that haunts me
|
I am chosen, this can't be right
|
The pain that your thrust brings
|
|
(chorus)
|
I don't want your flesh
|
I'm not your whore
|
But you want my blood
|
I'm not a whore
|
Trapped down here inside
|
A nightmare that's become reality
|
A heinous violation
|
Of my humanity
|
|
Right before my eyes I see my world
|
Fractured so precise by one so cold
|
Through your veins run ice, I beg of thee
|
As I lie paralyzed please let me be
|
|
From within your soul I stare
|
I don't think I'll live to see this end
|
You'll reign eternally through my nightmares
|
If I ever sleep again
|
|
The hatred directed at me 'cause of what I am
|
Is as chilling as the defilement itself
|
I wonder, what kind of beast is man?
|
What emotions are and not felt?
|
|
(chorus)
|
I don't want your flesh
|
I'm not your whore
|
But you want my blood
|
I'm not a whore
|
I can't even comprehend
|
Why this act has come to be
|
Proven time and time again
|
The ultimate sadistic release
|
|
(bridge)
|
This violent form of incarceration
|
Trapped by savagery, helpless I lie
|
I refuse this indoctrination
|
Though you shatter this inner sanctum of mine
|
|
An ancient inherited shame
|
Bonding women and horror
|
Outlasting the boundaries of time
|
Enslaved forevermore
|
|
Inherent crimes
|
Through generations has become
|
A terror cycle....
|
|
You can't see me but you feel me
|
You only want what you don't understand
|
You can't have me so you take me
|
Forever scarred where you've stamped your brand
|
|
You look in my eyes and you tell me
|
What do you see?
|
Of this I'm deserving?
|
|
You can't see me but you feel me
|
You only want what you don't understhand
|
You can't have me so you take me
|
Forever scarred where you've stamped your brand
|
|
You need to crush me with your lividity
|
Does this make you feel more like a man
|
You can't have me, so you rape me
|
My innocence strangled by your hand
|
|
This must be necrophilia, for I am dead inside
|
Your violent misogyny, your strength drowns my cries
|
In shock, I'm crippled with disbelief
|
This can't be happening to me
|
Oh god, this hurts, I'm bleeding from friction
|
"Unconcious" I'm pleading to be...
|
|
You cannot imagine the anger I feel
|
Nor can you imagine the pain and despair
|
This double jeopardy soon happens again
|
When they scrape me for semen and hair
|
My mind is frozen with your face intact
|
This atrocity from which I haven't been spared
|
From now on, I'll only know lovemaking through
|
An act of intense terror
|
|
The malevolence which pours over me
|
You fill me with your rage
|
It's mortifying, diabolical,
|
Controlling through this stage
|
I struggle to cope with what's happening
|
I'm praying for my death
|
I've done nothing wrong, I've been victimized
|
So I'll pray for yours instead
|
|
The physical torment inflicted on me
|
Is insufferable but it doesn't compare
|
To your terrible criminal mentality
|
And the scars I'll forever bear
|
To live through this brutal show of force
|
Will cause me years of torment and grief
|
Awaiting this misery to run its course
|
As I scream out innocent pleas
|
|
(lead-Brett)
|
|
(repeat bridge)
|
This violent form of incarceration
|
Trapped by savagery, helpless I lie
|
I refuse this indoctrination
|
Though you shatter this inner sanctum of mine
|
|
An ancient inherited shame
|
Bonding women and horror
|
Outlasting the boundaries of time
|
Enslaved forevermore
|
|
I will force myself to carry on
|
And vengeance will be ultimately mine
|
If you are not imprisoned soon
|
By my hands you will die...
|
|
(chorus)
|
I don't what your flesh
|
I'm not your whore
|
But you wnat my blood
|
I'm not a whore
|
Through rape you've created me
|
A victim not above revenge
|
A churning, seething mass of hate
|
But you haven't conquered |
