"Monster To Society" by Jerry Langdon
Sleeping in ice.
Here I stand.
Life in sacrifice.
Once it all began.
Life in sacrifice.
Once it all began.
Human exile.
Monster to society.
Stamped as vile.
That's not me.
Monster to society.
Stamped as vile.
That's not me.
Nightmares subside.
Now I dream,
Fear and peace co-reside.
Unable to scream.
Now I dream,
Fear and peace co-reside.
Unable to scream.
Death forgot me.
Once collected.
Forever free.
Once resurrected.
Once collected.
Forever free.
Once resurrected.
Walk behind the veil.
An eternal blasphemy.
Though death may hail
'Tis not for me.
An eternal blasphemy.
Though death may hail
'Tis not for me.
A soul without a home.
Now sleeping in ice.
In dream I roam.
My life in sacrifice.
Now sleeping in ice.
In dream I roam.
My life in sacrifice.
What was will never be.
Bereft of a safe return.
Memories stolen from me.
It makes my blood burn.
Bereft of a safe return.
Memories stolen from me.
It makes my blood burn.
