Little child, did you throw the dice again?
Black and blue paint on your wall
Didn't mama tell you that she loves you so?
Even if her bones are dry to hear you sing and cry

Attempting to please the world at the age of seventeen
You kill your babies and call it offering
The stench of truth:
A life for a life, to be kind is to be unkind

[Refrain]
It took six sweet years of your life
You walked alone along with your tea-col colored mind
Subtly you pay the curse upon you
But a promise of the man
Seeps through earth grave and stone

[Chorus]
You will seek Him with all your heart, soul and strength
You'll count all the cost as you walk out the door
Without a warning you'll set the world on fire!
Like it used to be
Fire! (repeat)

(Repeat Intro)

You're never appearing not to
Emerging through unscathed
Little god, you're cauterized by sin
Comfortable and seem to gain
The taste of fatherless
It took six sweet years of your life

(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)
