All could see it in her eyes
A great fear she suffered in life
This broken, hurt little girl
Lived in fear of her father
She reached for love, but found his hate
So fragile at the age of eight
Her mother dead, but he remained
In his child he placed the blame
All watched at a distance, never acting
As this girl was a black sheep
She was alone and without friends
That's how the story goes
Without a voice, scars will not mend
He was drunk that fateful night
Coming home from the bar
In his mind he had decided
How to make his daughter pay
For she had "gone too far"
He crept into her room
Quiet as he could
Peeling the covers from her body
Tying her to the wood
If only she knew what was to happen
She awoke in pain, to hear him laughing
Confused, naked
Covered in blood
Pleading look towards
The father she loved
She couldn't move
She couldn't scream
All she could do was hope
That this was a dream
Tears streamed from her face
Only feeding his lust and rage
Like and animal, tethered and caged
She vedded and cried, her heart racing
He carried on despite her pleas
Stolen innocence, crimson sheets
She was in pain
He didn't care
All she could do was sob and stare
He left her upon the bed
Broken, bleeding, left for dead
No one listened to her
In spite of what was true
That such a nice man
Would actually do this
She couldn't sleep at night
Afraid it would happen again
Still no one acted
Or believed that he had sinned
This was a burden she had alone
Constantly betrayed in her own home
One night after he had his way
She decided that's all she'd take
Waiting 'till he went to sleep
Silently down the stairs she creeped
Arming herself with the largest knife
Knowing what she must do
No choice but to follow through
She walked into his room
Blade held high
Sick satisfaction in her eyes
If only he knew what was to happen
For everytime he had hurt her
Another incision was made
His sheets now ran crimson
Forever broken, forever stained
She went and got some gasoline
And burned the house down that night
The ashes of her pain remained
But she knew she'd be allright
Bodies burning, children laughing
