The Lyrics
The original song is something I can somewhat relate to, but it paints a pretty picture on an ugly situation. If all you have are well-meaning religious fanatics that demand you conform to their way of thinking, that's bad. But what if the whole word wishes you dead and rotting that it may rejoice? If there is nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide? If even your own parents desire not your mere conversion to their will, but their will is entirely your utter destruction - and that will is mirrored everywhere your gaze should fall? Then *this* fits, and a nurse from the Ukraine says, "that sounds like a concentration camp" when she hears what it was like.
Dripping blood finds hungry earth,
Bound wrists come now unglued,
My very name a 'Disgrace',
Thought something I'd choose.
As a child, I was shunned,
Driven out into the wastes,
Cursed by all, now outgunned,
My death sought with all due haste.
No vow too strong for those,
All about me killers arose,
The witches call to each other,
And they curse all those who bother...
What they see,
What they know,
The truth is only what they show,
Mustn't be,
Curse'ed me,
All my life is labeled 'Sin'.
What they see,
What they know,
A label damn'd is mine to own,
In hell I hide,
To suit their pride...
And of course, I'm not forgiven.
They live blessedly normal lives,
In luxury's stolen bliss,
Those like me, invisible slaves,
Our lives are poured out like piss.
No punishment is too dire,
Erasure their fond desire,
Unearned hatred a daily fact,
Our Difference demands they act
A lie lived with constancy,
Their ears ignore our plea
Murder finally roosts in me....
What they see,
What they know,
The truth is only what they show,
Mustn't be,
Curse'ed me,
All my life is labeled 'Sin'.
What they see,
What they know,
A label damn'd is mine to own,
In hell I hide,
To suit their pride...
Nothing I do can be forgiven.
Fed to worms,
Disease'd Germs,
Never to be forgiven,
Inked as evil,
Crushed to death,
Never to be forgiven.
Smash it down,
Become another,
Never to be forgiven
Inhuman thing,
Blood Sacrifice
Never to be forgiven.
Inhuman thing,
Blood Sacrifice,
Never to be forgiven.

If you want to see what these lyrics are actually based on (granted, it's fictional) check out slowginonline.com. Check out chapter 16 about half-way through it. (Note: graphic violence depicted) While the lyrics depicted here are not copyrighted, I hope to get the 'books' published one day, so reckon them copyrighted so far as theft is concerned.
