Cruelty

[Verse 1]
Suffering in my rags
Shambling and dressed in black
A witness to a crime
There's the wink and that smile
Everything must go
There's nothing that will stay afloat
Covered our eyes with smoke

[Verse 2]
Suffering in the mist
Sweating, shivering I admit
Afraid but I don't show it
To you, never to you
Don't be a fool in time
Don't dream of peace or pray for rhyme
There is nothing left but decline

[Chorus]
And I call to you
I'm telling the truth
I call out to you, to you
Our sunshine days are through
They cast a fog on us, on us
A shadow on our house
They have done what they should not have
Covered our sky with clouds

[Verse 3]
So dark now is our night
So dark is our night
Filled the air with fright and a lie
The innocent blood will spill
There is no avoiding it
They have made up their mind to kill

[Chorus]
Do you need me to illustrate illusion for you?
In this shadow of our abuse, our happy days are through
They will move like vultures, pick apart our bones
Do not doubt their cruelty, they have no heart nor soul
