5. Blessed In Contempt (4:12)
All that can escape me, all I realize
That it will come back to me the day my father dies
His burning eyes would stare at you; I was born a masochist
I cried out in pain, as he clenches up is fist
Slowly as the years go by, the darkness builds inside
Trying to find a passage out before I lost my mind
Incestuous temptation, but what is wrong or right
Why must I fall victim of hereditary spite?
Soon! we will arise, forming despise
Conceptual intempt; blessed in contempt!
Thoughts have now come back to me: it's time to perpetrate
Take me to my sanity, before it gets too late
Hear me as I call to you right here down below
Resurrect my will to live, come before I... go!
Soon! we will arise, forming despise
Conceptual intempt; blessed in contempt.!.
That it will come back to me the day my father dies
His burning eyes would stare at you; I was born a masochist
I cried out in pain, as he clenches up is fist
Slowly as the years go by, the darkness builds inside
Trying to find a passage out before I lost my mind
Incestuous temptation, but what is wrong or right
Why must I fall victim of hereditary spite?
Soon! we will arise, forming despise
Conceptual intempt; blessed in contempt!
Thoughts have now come back to me: it's time to perpetrate
Take me to my sanity, before it gets too late
Hear me as I call to you right here down below
Resurrect my will to live, come before I... go!
Soon! we will arise, forming despise
Conceptual intempt; blessed in contempt.!.
