Testo Slaughter of Innocence - Conflict
Testo della canzone Slaughter of Innocence (Conflict), tratta dall'album Against All Odds
Bawling man sits, compiling his next move
The mortgage hangs around his neck, now feeling like a noose
The new gas bill, oh God, how bad he feels
Those kids he can't reject, his emotional success
He's a man of set opinion, the way the world sits in his hands
Just cannot seem to reason, so they'll never understand
They just won't listen, to hardly anything he may say
They sit and smile politely, then with one accord turn away
A son stands up in front, observing the creation that is nature
Mother prepares dinner, most of pain maintains the hour
Dog sits as master barks, then leaps into the car
He waves and smiles emotionally, the assurance they'll go far
The stakes rise, as each owner unfolds plans
Men take to bait each other, money exchanges hands
Animal love now snarling hatred, muzzle unlocked, hell raised
He smiles from beyond the wooden fence, down his destitute prey
Teeth tear, blood splashes, the face of the young child's red
She cries in disapproval, that's now immune to what she's said
The man who lives in frenzy, limbs torn, skin is shorn
Like sex perverts at a peep show, this is the ultimate in form
Eyes glare, beast and master, animals both toes weary
There can only be one real winner here
The results are now seen clearly
Teeth bared, bare fur protects it, flesh hangs dangling in shreds
Their faces grimly projected, strips of meat exposed, selected
Blood stains and saliva splatter, a few other precious lives
Master and servant, they both made the ritual sacrifice
Turns the man who lives in frenzy, limbs torn, skin is shorn
Like sex perverts at a peep show, this is the ultimate in form
Sacrifice of innocence, although fate has spoken law
Tired beyond endurance, but the spectators cry for more
Left before dishonour, a demand of so obscene
That the men have raped each other, to keep their conscience clean
Laughter hides the guilt they feel at every savage blow
Someone whispers cruelty, but they don't want to know
The bawling man stands silent, as slave fights for life
And thinks of all the good things that he's promised to his wife
She tosses glimpse of God through the windscreen of his car
She tried to rationalise and look for it, time won't heal the scars
Some vague association she feels to Lucifer's stake
She stares at drugs side to side, what are you for heaven's sake?
The TV flickers images of the ideals she once knew
The fresh young girl's glance, such a deep, clear, clean and new
She struts and holds her arms, he constructs the wooden blocks
To hold his faded hope, it took the heaviest of knocks
Like fishing in the ocean, their options disappear
They think of how the older heads say, not a trace of fear
Kiss their feet and grovel in awe, show how much they care
Perhaps until their birthday gift is lying dead out there
One should have paid for birthday clothes, but not the price cut fee
Now celebrations of their birth make way for sheer debris
Did only what they thought would best, to give some sense of pride
To give their kids a place in life, but now the dream has died
Now he's got his mother, now she repels his touch
The remaining sense of manhood takes away the righteous crutch
He promised what he couldn't give, the master's warning words
Urge the beast to glory, but the servant's never heard
