Knives and Swords

locked in my room I lay
in light darkness I shut my eyes
and fumble with keys to open my brain
to stop the horrible knives

which lay at my bare feet
I cannot stop what happens
I want to be set free
I find my soul frozen in my brain

The only thought is pain undone
but I must put myself away
along with the son
at the end of the day

Draw your battle lines in red blood
over all that is left of the old
drag your only name in the mud
because you didn't do what you were told

Blame yourself for all his wrongs
take everything upon your soul to make his white
pain still exists when he's gone
you still see scars in the light

get out little girl, leave this place
here are the keys to your brain, free soul
dancing, dancing for joy, no more hate
in Him you are made whole

No more scars, no more tears
the pity I felt for a monster
had turned to pure fear
but he's no longer there
