You starve your children on neglect Then feed their bellies with fear Concussion bat to the brain Witness to a battered mother Your abuse will end right here No longer will your family fear A gunshot to head of trepidation My promise if you ever lay a finger Just look at the scars you make Your terror makes your kids break A broken home just as you were raised With fist raised up to your children Your abuse will end right here No longer will your family fear A gunshot to head of trepidation My promise if you ever lay a finger This battle is on all You've made beautiful Now hateful You wretched life wrecker Abuser Now suffer Open fire On the desire of the man Open fire With strife we'll strike down the hand (Open fire, build the pyre) If I can't make you see the damage you've made (Open fire, build the pyre) I'll make you wish you'd never been alive x2
