Inheritance (Curse Of Scars)

[style: black metal] [tempo: fast] [texture: gritty] [mood: sinister] [music: metallic percussion, creepy vocalizations, sharp cello arpeggios and dark atmospheric pads create a sinister vibe] [verse] Dark trauma… fatal incision Indoctrination… deadly precision Bleak Child… locked in their prison Deep cuts… scarred by religion (scarred) •• Afraid in the dark… completely alone Inside a sickness… I must atone No compassion… nothing but bones Only shadows and alluring tombstones [chorus] Children bear the scars of parents’ decisions Religion cuts deep using precise incisions Righteous indoctrination is a curse too far This abuse will always leave the curse of scars [verse] There was no way out… no way in Every moment was a lesson in sin Every question an act of defiance Harsh punishment for lack of compliance •• Vortex of sadness, anger and grief Visions of madness bringing relief Here’s to the master, the servant, the thief Grim Lords in white collars and their belief [chorus] Children bear the scars of parents’ decisions Religion cuts deep using precise incisions Righteous indoctrination is a curse too far This abuse will always leave the curse of scars [post-chorus] Faith never-ending… with no parole Just pain inflicted to save my soul Broken and twisted… tied to the rack Time for penance… red welts on my back [bridge: heavy taiko drums, tom-toms create a militaristic marching rhythm] Christian soldiers keep marching along Zealots keeping holy blinders on If there’s just one free mind… all is lost Convert the heathens, at any cost At any cost [interlude] [chorus] Children bear the scars of parents’ decisions Religion cuts deep using precise incisions Righteous indoctrination is a curse too far This abuse will always leave the curse of scars [outro] Your inheritance… it’s time for penance Faith never-ending… it’s a life sentence No chance of parole… just fulfill your role (No! No!… No!)
