Occultist - A Hell for the Innocent lyrics

The rain, will it ever cease? No shelter from this storm Stolen innocence by the hand of the beast Fear replaces love Year after bloody year An existence ruled by torment Life in constant fear Constant fear Constant fear Chorus For in this empty night The only comfort lies in dreams The nightmare of existence awaits A day of tears and silent screams The ultimate betrayal Insurmountable pain Keep repeating the lie it'll get better Just one more day Bridge: Children in perdition Huddled alone Against the storm A tiny voice whispers Please keep me warm The hands that are meant to heal and protect Are the ones that are wrapped around my neck Mother and father are gods to the young Frail and weak, always alone The lie of comfort, the illusion of love Broken jaw, stolen innocence Existence in torment, cries fall of deaf ears If you heard her voice, would you even care? Children in perdition – growing old alone Children in perdition – Hell is all we know Her eyes so beautiful under the blood A sadness so deep, she's never known love The years progress but the scars remain Never have time to process the pain Life is a gift that's been taken away Every moment, every breath, every f**ing day Force myself to breathe, I can't take another day Cold words and fists raised me this way Children in perdition – growing old alone Children in perdition – hell is all we know
