Metal Church - In Harm's Way Lyrics
In the empty spaces of the mind, that's here I store my pastA ghostly image that I fear has yet to be surpassedI pray that I won't carry all the pain 'till the endNo direction from your guardian, the one who should protectI'm innocent of their decisions, I wonder why dad leftEvery night I hide in bed and plan to run away...A lonely child with battered eyesNo joy in innocence they cryAlways has to lie his way through lifeI've fallen down while playing ballBut mom beat me up and down the hallJust because she had one of those nightsInstinct to defend, where does it all endHow does a child get himself out of harm's way?A lifelong price to payIt's not that mommy hits that hurts me, it's when she goes awayGet home from school all by myself and won't see her for daysA kid deprived of love in life has no alternative in sightHe throws up barriers to get him throughA human life's a gift from GodYour conscience and your heart are goneYou're much to cruel to have a point of viewNo one to turn to, oh, how dare youHow does a child get himself out of harm's way?A price no one should payCan't you see the tears they're cryingDon't you care your kids are dying?From the senseless torment that you put them throughThere's different kinds of lies to tellAbuse is from the pit of hellA demon with a goal that is to killYou better hear the words I sayDeliverence may be far awayYou'll look like you have been run through the millInstinct to defend, where does it all endHow does a child get himself out of harm's way?A lifelong price to pay
