ein hauch wahnsinn.

They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child

Because Hell, Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
with your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because Hell, Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
with your bones and your flesh

No, Hell Is For Children

Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell Is For Children . . .

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm ok

I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more"
Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done
To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on

It's not so easy to forget
All the lines you left along her neck
When I was thrown against cold stairs
And every day I'm afraid to come home
In fear of what I might see next
I'm ok

I play doctor for five minutes flat
Before I cut my heart open...and let the air out
Three bugs, a pound of dust
Some wind spilled before me
In the strangest manner that had
Broke away my tear spout

AS I LIE THERE
WITH MY TONGUE SPREAD WIDE OPEN
A BLACK WIDOW HAD OFFERED ME
A SWEETHEART TUBE
AS I INJECTED
THE CANDIED HEART THAT I SELECTED
She said don't hesitate
JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!!

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just cuz I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway
Just let the blood run red CUZ I CAN'T FEEL!

Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time...
It's time

Es ist an der Zeit den alten Dreck hinaus zu kehren
Und sich mit dem letzten Funken Willen
Gegen das was war zu wehren.
Es ist an der Zeit sämtliche Brücken zu verbrennen
Und sich von der alten Haut,
Von der Erinnerung zu trennen. 

Manchmal kommt die Zeit,
Und dazu reicht ein Kuss,
In der man sich zum Weiterleben
Wieder einmal töten muss.
Nach allem was mit mir geschah
Ist mir bis heute nicht mal klar,
Welcher von den vielen Morden
Nun die schlimmste Hölle war.
Die Schande meines eigenen Lebens
Lastet schwerer als man glaubt,
Sie ist es, die mir jedes mal
Erneut den Boden raubt.
War mein Finger auch am Abzug,
War mein Bein auch schon im Grabe,
Steht am Ende ohne Punkt und Komma doch:
"Verdammt, ich lebe noch."

Es ist an der Zeit sich zu der Zukunft zu bekennen,
Die Schuldigen zu vergessen,
Die die zu mir standen zu benennen.
Es ist an der Zeit den Kelch in einem Zug zu leeren,
Wie ein Phoenix ohne Furcht
Sich selbst im Feuer zu verzehren

For years I've seen you fighting
Against your heart
Living like your dying
So far from the sun
Wait for a guardian angel
That lead you through the dangers
That lie ahead on your way
Towards tomorrows arms

Tears have turned from sweet to sour
And hours to days
You're hiding yourself away
Yrom our cruel world's embrace
And as your days turn to weeks
You will cry yourself to sleep
In the cage

We all have our fears but yours are
The scariest of them all
Lift your head and let us taste
The horror you adore
And it all starts to make sense
All the blood wisely shed
Just wait until the truth comes
Knocking on your door

Tears have turned from sweet to sour
And hours to days
You're hiding yourself away
From our cruel world's embrace
And as your days turn to weeks
You will cry yourself to sleep
In the cage
And as your days turn to weeks
You will cry yourself to sleep
In the cage you've locked yourself in
