Afflicted Past Lyrics by Hatebreed

Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire

1997

Hatred evokes the memories that make your blood run cold
Fear and sorrow push you away from yourself

How can you face the world?
When you can't face the mirror
How can you leave your past?
With blood on your hands?
Can you run away all your life?
Can you escape your punishment?
How many times can you start it all again? And how many lies will it take to cover your tracks?
How can you face the world?
When you can't face the mirror
How can you leave your past?
With blood on your hands?
Can you run away all your life?
Can you escape your punishment?

No matter how far you go
Those days are right behind
The facade of your perfect life
Cannot hide your afflicted past
There is no escape
No escape
No escape
No escape
No escape
