Silent Legacy
Why did you steal the matchesFrom the one room motelOnce they gave you answersNow they give you hellThey will never understandThey wonder where did they go wrongHow could you be so selfishWhy can't you get along
And as you pray in your darknessFor wings to set you freeYou are bound to your silent legacy
You've seen it in the moviesAnd you've heard it on the streetCraving the affectionYour blood is full of heatThey don't listen to your reasonsAs original as sinDeny all that you feelAnd they will bring you home again
And as you pray in your darknessFor wings to set you freeYou are bound to your silent legacy
Your body is aliveBut no one told you what you'd feelThe empty aching hoursTrying to concealThe natural progressionIs the coming of your ageBut they cover it with shameAnd turn it into rage
And as you pray in your darknessFor wings to set you freeYou are bound to your silent legacy
You are digging for the answersUntil your fingers bleedTo satisfy the hungerTo satiate the needThey feed you on the guiltTo keep you humble keep you lowSome man and myth they made upA thousand years ago
And as you pray in your darknessFor wings to set you freeYou are bound to your silent legacy
Mothers tell your childrenBe quick you must be strongLife is full of wonderLove is never wrongRemember how they taught youHow much of it was fearRefuse to hand it downThe legacy stops here
Oh my child...
