Once Upon A Beating

lyrics

Let me tell you a story about 3 boys
Indoctrinated into slavery
never mind the beatings never mind the bravery
at the time they're loyalty was never unwavering

but the time for that ship
has fucking sailed
not just me, not my brothers
but yourself you have failed(x2)

I hope these words burn a hole through your head when you try to sleep at night
I hope you kick and you scream with all of your might
Just like my brothers did when we cowered in our room in fright

Let go your weapon
your life it will not lengthen

You're getting so old now
You won't be fighting back so hard
the visions of your death do nothing to satiate my hate my brothers we had to endure
