Parents cannot help the child
Born into this life of pain.
Tortured, tormented child of fire,
Enraged against the grim machine
Spectre of a cruel dystopia.
Memory of confinement, a child alone
Locked into the black iron prison,
Forced into their cage of pain. (x2)
Memory of confinement, a child alone
Locked inside the black iron prison,
Forced inside the empire's cage.
Parents cannot help the child
Born into this life of pain.
Tortured, tormented child of fire
Enraged against the grim machine.
Spectre of a cruel dystopia.
Madness looms ahead, always there, always dread.
Whatever you do, do not listen to this. That lyre. That infernal lyre. It infects my mind, commanding me to listen. It's mindhold on me grows in strength with each listen. He's making me write this. Radar Secret Service
