lyrics

Succumbing to Violence

Lying still and crumpled on the ground
She was protecting herself
Suffering his cruel embrace,
Forgiving each time he had never felt so alive

Her cries swept fiercly across the wilderness
And like a moth to a flame she clung to him
Screaming in agony in the moonlight, crying out to anyone
Escape, impossible

No time to question a call for assistance
I had to shut my eyes and run
Unprepared and so afraid as I hastened to the abomination
Too late to rescue her

Born into the cycle of malevolence
Unknowing of life away from fear
Watching everyone around her succumbing to violence
The only way to go
