Conceived Through An Act Of Violence

Hatebreed · Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire [1997]

Thrown into this living hell. I was thrown into this living hell. I

am the hatred taken from another's life. Born unwanted,

extracted of all that is humane. No one can relate to my

abandonment. I walk this earth alone in search of salvation

Forever, Forever. Forever. Alone. A tormented seed given a

chance to grow. The end result of moral choice. Only to live a

tortured life as the product of rape. Under a mother's face of

innocence, And a father with eyes of a demon. Conceived

through an act of violence. (x4) I was thrown into this living

hell. I didn't ask to be this way. I was thrown into this living hell.
