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
