Six Feet Deep - Angry Son

Born into a world I knew nothing of
No concept of pain, I didn't know what it was
But I was young, innocent and so naive
And I soon found out how it is
Born into a world I knew nothing of
No concept of pain, I didn't know what it was
I thought I could trust, I thought I could lean
On this world but I soon found out what it means

To fall face to the ground
Try to get back up, pushed back down
Outstretched hand, a broken wrist
One more name on my blacklist
Didn't take me long to learn
That if you trust, you get burned
Put a name to my pain (life)

Attempt after attempt
Can my heart ever be free of contempt?

The scars in this flesh chronicle my life best
Eternal memories of why, why I've come to this
The thorn in my side, the knife stuck into my spine
Never again to trust anyone. Father, heal Your angry son

The portrait of hate, I stare myself in the face
Mirror haunts, my fist bleeding, bleeding broken glass
It twists, it writhes. It sinks its teeth into my mind
Bending me against everyone. Father, heal Your angry son

Please, set me free
I'm becoming the epitome of what I oppose

Father, take the pain. Blood of Your Only Begotten paid
Ransom of my suffering. To Your cross this albatross I bring
Template life led long ago. Son of God cleanse my soul
This hardened heart turn to clay. (This day) heal Your angry son
