Fractured Faith Songtext
von Fires of Waco

She says, "Dear lord
Dear lord, can you tell me
Why my son′s lost his shine?
Why the emptiness and the bitterness
Are consuming his prime?
Oh lord, where was I
When he was taken away
To the places (to the places)
That will haunt him
Until his dying day?" (until his dying day)

"And when he wakes in the night
How do I explain
How you permitted this wrong?
Why his peers isolate him
For what has been done?
And those men of the cloth
Those men of the faith
Why do they have the right
The right to hurt him this way?"


"Oh God, won't you bring my son some peace?
Just one moment when his mind can be at ease
For the visions enclosed in his mind
Are not meant to be known by a child
Not tender (not tender)
Nor living (nor living)
Not subtle, nor mild
And he′s only a child."

In the debris of it all
There lies a child
Soulless and corrupted
With an emptiness inside
Outside the wreckage of it all
Removed and without shame
Stands a man of fractured faith
A man who will abuse again
In the debris of it all
In the debris of it all
In the debris of it all
A child prays to die
