1. The Death Of Innocence (3:49)
My imbalanced mind is unaccepted by society
My life is ruled by urges - sickened impropriety
In this day and age, strangely enough, some factions remain blind
To my manipulation of a puerile kind
Their impressionable minds cannot tell wrong from right
A degenerate, I am an immoral blight
Upon the attitudes of "unliberated" souls
I'm sick I know
I'm sick I know!
As a lower form of life with a psychotic rage
That's identified intensified against under-aged
They have no fear yet to share what is theirs
In act of love intended for their older years
I crawl into their brains, they love me more each day
They're old enough to know, I don't care what you say
They're old enough to love, I don't care what you say
Aren't they?
Aren't they?!?!
I beg not forgiveness, just a cure for this sickness
As it stands now, there's no hope in sight
My brain is filled with degradation, tormenting excruciation
Decadence is ruling my life
Bloodless lambs' purity lost, victims of my holocaust
My unclean hands defile without reason
More sinned than sinning, anguished memories just beginning
When thoughts turn upon this bitter season
A rapist of naivet�, a killer of virginity
I stand for the death of innocence!!!
Young bodies cannot stand the pain
I'm torturing their little brains
I am the death of innocence!
Only sickened filth, disgusting scum
Would do the appalling deeds I've done
Crushing with psychotic malevolence!
I can't control my gross addiction
Feeding mental pain infliction
Fall to the death of innocence!
Ostracized by my peers in my formative years
I've grown up craving unconditional love
That's why I've turned to my friends with our illegal, illicit trysts
They'll only understand me if they're young
God, I can't believe I'm scarring their young lives for all time
Not only bodies but their sweet, chaste, virginal minds
I'm more than willing to, if caught, let death be my fine
Someone catch me, I deserve to die!!!
Somebody please stop or kill me!
My actions must be stopped before I strike again
Before, I didn't care what I was doing
But now I know I am an aberration
Demented brain keeping youthful slaves
I'm a man obsessed, committing mentacide
Sending innocence to its grave
Standing at the coffin, set to eulogize
A rapist of naivet�, a killer of virginity
I stand for the death of innocence!!!
They cannot understand the shame
The torture of their little brains
I am the death of innocence!
Only sickened filth, disgusting scum
Would do the appalling deeds I've done
Crushing with psychotic malevolence!
I can't control my gross addiction
Feeding mental pain infliction
Fall to the death of innocence!
My life is ruled by urges - sickened impropriety
In this day and age, strangely enough, some factions remain blind
To my manipulation of a puerile kind
Their impressionable minds cannot tell wrong from right
A degenerate, I am an immoral blight
Upon the attitudes of "unliberated" souls
I'm sick I know
I'm sick I know!
As a lower form of life with a psychotic rage
That's identified intensified against under-aged
They have no fear yet to share what is theirs
In act of love intended for their older years
I crawl into their brains, they love me more each day
They're old enough to know, I don't care what you say
They're old enough to love, I don't care what you say

Feeding mental pain infliction
Fall to the death of innocence!
