Steel Prophet Lyrics
"Scarred For Life"

Born into this life a child in the world of doubt

Rejected as an orphan boy torn from his mothers side

Dogma thrown in his way obstacles from which to pass

The pain his soul endured

Has scarred his body fast

Defiant in an angry heart stubborn in his ways

Determined to reach his goals

Though numbered are his days

Lost within his mind

emotionally disturbed

Abused throughout childhood

Wounded deeply by words

Submerged in hate and fear

Neglected by those around

Affliction was all we had

lost and never found

But then something snapped within

And turned him inside out

To survive, life had to change

And mend his wounds somehow

rebellion against authority

To conform he would never submit

Punished by society

upon their face he'd spit

Scarred for life, wounded deep within

Healing the bludgeoned soul

Must somehow begin cry out in the night

Twisted in delusion crawling into the light

Scarred for life

Locked within his mind, a solitary prison cell

Depression fills him with despair

Falling to the depths of hell

Alone in a silent rage the final hours near

Desperate in insanity

He cries, but no one hears

Anger consumed his soul

In a violent state of mind

Destroyed his every thought

Soon running out of time

Lies he believed from voices in his head

Confused in chaos, wishing he was dead

Torn into this life a child in disarray

Blasphemed upon his soul

A victim of his ways

Scarred for life
