Lyrics

(Lyrics: araya; music: hanneman, king)

Nightmare, the persecution
A child's dream of death

Torment, ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest

Guidance, it means nothing
In a world of brutal time

Electric, circus, wild
Deep in the infants mind

Silent scream
Bury the unwanted child
Beaten and torn
Sacrifice the unborn

Shattered, adolescent [sings: another child]
Bearer of no name

Restrained, insane games
Suffer the children condemned

Scattered, remnants of life
Murder a time to die

Pain, sufferaged toyed
Life's little fragments destroyed

Silent scream
Crucify the bastard son
Beaten and torn
Sanctify lives of scorn

Lead: king
Hanneman

Life preordained
Humanity maintained
Extraction termination
Pain's agonizing stain

Embryonic death
Embedded in your brain
Suffocation, strangulation
Death is fucking you insane

Nightmare, the persecution
A child's dream of death

Torment, ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest
Innocence withdrawn in fear
Fires burning can you hear
Cries in the night
