Daddy’s eyes invade the room
sees his little girl in bloom
familiar breath and she awakes
unwanted hands caress her legs
she’s crying and she’s begging
not to hurt her anymore
but he just keeps on taking
what he came here for

why?

he’s raping the cradle, breaking the trust
shattering her dreams with animal lust
disturbing pictures in pretty frames
a home that will never be the same

why?
why?

wounded child the soul is cut
sheets of linen stained with blood
afraid, she cannot comprehend
was that her daddy, was that her friend

and mommy won’t believe it
and he cannot undo
her golden youth defeated
her love for life destroyed

he’s raping the cradle, breaking the trust
shattering her dreams with animal lust
disturbing pictures in pretty frames
a home that will never be the same

why?
why?
why?
why?

they’re raising a cross with her name upon
in fields of broken dolls
who’ll never be the same again
who’ll never be the same again

he’s raping the cradle, breaking the trust
shattering her dreams with animal lust
disturbing pictures in pretty frames
a home that will never be the same
he’s raping the cradle, breaking the trust
shattering her dreams with animal lust
disturbing pictures in pretty frames
a home that will never be the same

why?
