Contempt - Warzone

I remember the first time I saw what they did

we were still young, just little kids

The pain, the hurt, the bruises you had

and all the beatings from your dad

Hey, your mom would get drunk

join in on the fun

It’s time for a beat down

and you’re the target on the run

Living in a hell, but no one believes

there could be anything wrong with your perfect family

So you did what they said and didn’t wind up dead

Every night before bed your sheets would turn to red

For years you stuck it out, too scared to reach out

Memories you thought were dead

Tears that felt like lead

Pain and terror is back again

your dreams won’t let go

you want revenge, it’s all you know

Now you’re older, not scared anymore

the ones that hurt you have to pay

been waiting years for this judgement day

The time is now for you to have your say

I’ll stand by your side like I have for years

and we’ll never forget all the tears

It’s time to put this in the past

go on with your life at last.
