The Orphan Lyrics by Kenn Nardi

Trauma

0

This child, his offspring
His true bastard wing
His kin, sacrificed
Betrayed, sold for vice
Once he soared beyond the sky
Chasing dawn in faithless flight
Pierced through by his bloated pride
The eagle died
This branch, his seedling
To him, worth nothing
His own, left behind
Scorned and maligne
Once he stood in my defense
Where he watched with diligence
Having sired a malcontent
Here, he stands no more
Gone, the fathеr who reared in me
An onеrous destiny
Its weight upon my shoulders
Once he'd limped away
Ashamed, he denied his seed
His sins and his legacy
Are lain upon the orphan
Defend myself, protect myself
Sustain myself, preserve myself
Once elegant, her torch aflame
Dignified, her word, her name
Beautiful, her face, her frame
Now vile to look upon
Gone, the one who had birthed in me
The flame of her progeny
Her torch has been extinguished
Having gone astray
The mother who carried me
The one who abandoned me left
Whoring for acceptance
No flesh bore this flesh
No blood bore this blood
Conceived from ink alight
Liberty, my birthright
Life is just lonely cage
The world is just an orphanage
Never will I be assuaged
As long as I am contained
Where is the father who reared in me
This onerous destiny
Which weighs upon my heart?
And where is the mother who birthed in me
The flame of her progeny
Whose torch has all but
Been extinguished now?
No, no, no!
Damn this family I thought I knew
I pledged my allegiance to
These parents who are only a memory
They're only a memory
They're only a memory
