I SEE A SHADOW OF A MAN NOTHING BUT COLD HARD STONE
BEATS HIS WIFE TO AN INCH OF HER LIFE WHILE HES AT HOME
THERES NO FOOD FOR THE LITTLE ONES SECURITY O NO
THEY TRY TO ASK FOR HELP NO ONE PICKS UP THE PHONE
HES A MONSTER THEY SAID BUT QUIETLY IN THEIR HEAD
THEY PLOT WAYS OF KILLING HIM WHEN HES SLEEPING IN BED
BUT THEY CANT THEY JUST KNOW THAT THEY GOT TO GET OUT
SO USELESS THEIR SCREAMS CAUSE ONLY INSIDE THEY SHOUT
THATS HIM AGAIN HES COME BACK FROM A HARD DAYS WORK
IN THROUGH THE DOOR THE DEMON STARTS TO LURK
BACK TO THE THRONE AGAIN HIS CASTLE HE DOMAINS
HES THE HENCHMAN ON HORSE BACK YE HE PULLS THE CHAINS
DEMANDS A HOT MEAL ON THE TABLE THINKS HE DESERVES A FILL
HES A PHSYCOPATH LOCK HIM UP CAUSE HES TERMINALLY ILL
THE HAND HE FEEDS HIS FACE WITH BEARS SCARS OF THE PAIN
HES INFLICTED ON HIS KIDS WHILE THEY BEEN UNDER HIS REIGN


(HOOK AND CHORUS)


BEATINGS OF TIME GONE ON IS A GHOST IN THIS HOUSE
YET AGAIN TO THE BOTTLE ON THE LABEL FAMOUS GROUSE
ITS JUST FUEL TO THE FIRE AND STOKES THE EVIL SIDE
AND HIS WIFE WAITS ON FOR THE LAWS FOR THAT SHE MUST ABIDE
SHES A SLAVE TO THIS MONSTER CAUSE HES FAR FROM A MAN
SHOULD OF SEEN THIS COMING WHEN THE FIGHTS FIRST BEGAN
HES HIT HER SO HARD SHE HIDES BLACK EYES BENEITH MAKE UP
DAMAGE TO HER EYESIGHT BUT HE COULDNT GIVE A ****
SHE WATCHES ROMANCE COMEDYS BUT NO LAUGHTER COMES OUT
JUST JELOUSY OF A LOVE AND FOR HER NEVER COME ABOUT
BUT KNOWS NO DIFFERENT TO THE LIFE THAT SHE LEADS
NO PRICE CHARMING BY HER SIDE THAT COULD TEND TO HER NEEDS
FOR SHE CHOSE A PUNCH OR KICK NOT A HUG OR A KISS
AND TO DELVE DEEPER THROUGH THIS DARKNESS IN HER PERSONAL ABYSS
THIS HAS TO END SHE THINKS SHE SHOULD SPEAK UP AND SAY
CAUSE I DONT THINK I CAN GO ON WITH THIS NOT ANOTHER DAY



(HOOK AND CHORUS)


THEN SUDDENLY AN URGE SEEMS TO COME FROM ABOVE
THINKS OF HER CHILDREN AND SHES SMOTHERED BY A TOTAL RUSH OF LOVE
GRIPS HIS GUN FROM THE CABINET WHERE IT SLEEPS UNDER THE BED
PUTS A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER AND THEN A ROUND IN HIS HEAD
HE SLUMPS OVER THE TABLE HEAD IN HIS GRAVY AND PEAS
SHE THROWS THE RIFLE TO THE FLOOR AND THEN SHE FALLS TO HER KNEES
SEES THE MOMENT SHE CONQUERED HER FEAR WHEN SHE GAVE THAT TRIGGER A SQUEEZE
AND EVERYTHING SLIPPED AWAY AND HER TROUBLES BE AT EASE
GRABS SOME CLOTHES AND HER KIDS AND GETS UP AND LEAVES
NOW A FUTURE SEEMS TO BE AND A HAPPYNESS SHE SEES
TELLS THE KIDS TO WAIT IN THE CAR AND SHE GRABS A PETROL CAN
COVERS THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF HER STATIC CARAVAN
STRIKES A MATCH HOLDS IT UP IN THE AIR
NO TURNING BACK NOW WHATEVER HAPPENS SHE DONT CARE
THROWS IT AT THE TRAILER AND IT BURSTS INTO FLAMES
I DID THIS FOR MY KIDS SWEET AND REVENGE ARE THEIR NAMES

(HOOK AND CHORUS)


SORRY HE SAYS BUT THAT DONT EVER STOP WHAT HE KEEPS ON DOING
CANT YOU SEE THE SADNESS IN THE EYES OF THE LIVES THAT YOU RUIN
ONE DAY YOUL GET YOUR COMMUPANCE WHEN SATAN TAKES HIS STAND
AND FOREVER YOU'L LIVE IN SUFFERING WITHIN HIS FIERY LAND
