An Ancient Inherited Shame Lyrics

"An Ancient Inherited Shame"

 by Dark Angel

Femininity, a sacred life

My goals and dreams achieved, or soon they might

Unintruded being, innocent

Young, with a hopeful future to be spent

 I can't believe my idiocy

 You came along with your invasion

 Your act of violence not of lust

 Upon me...

Racing through these darkened streets at night

Fleeing from this terror that haunts me

I am chosen, this can't be right

The pain that your thrust brings

(chorus)

 I don't want your flesh

 I'm not your whore

 But you want my blood

 I'm not a whore

 Trapped down here inside

 A nightmare that's become reality

 A heinous violation

 Of my humanity

Right before my eyes I see my world

Fractured so precise by one so cold

Through your veins run ice, I beg of thee

As I lie paralyzed please let me be

 From within your sould I stare

 I don't think I'll live to see this end

 You'll reign eternally through my nightmares

 If I ever sleep again

The hatred directed at me 'cause of what I am

Is chilling as the defilement itself

I wonder, what kind of beast is man?

What emotions are and not felt?

 I don't want your flesh

 I'm not your whore

 But you want my blood

 I'm not a whore

 I can't even comprehend

 Why this act has come to be

 Proven time and time again

 The ultimate sadistic release

(bridge)

This violent form of incarceration

Trapped by savagery, helpless I lie

I refuse this indoctrination

Though you shatter this inner sanctum of mine

 An ancient inherited shame

 Bonding women and horror

 Outlasting the boundaries of time

 Enslaved forevermore

 Inherent crimes

 Through generations has become

 A terror cycle....

You can't see me but you feel me

You only want what you don't understand

You can't have me so you take me

Forever scarred where you've stamped your brand

 You look in my eyes and you tell me

 What do you see?

 Of this I'm deserving?

You can't see me but you feel me

You only want what you don't understhand

You can't have me so you take me

Forever scarred where you've stamped your brand

You need to crush me with your lividity

Does this make you feel more like a man

You can't have me, so you rape me

My innocence strangled by your hand

This must be necrophilia, for I am dead inside

Your violent misogyny, your strength drowns my cries

In shock, I'm crippled with disbelief

This can't be happening to me

Oh god, this hurts, I'm bleeding from friction

"Unconcious" I'm pleading to be

 You cannot imagine the anger I feel

 Nor can you imagine the pain and despair

 This double jeopardy soon happens again

 When they scrape me for semen and hair

 My mind is frozen with your face intact

 This atrocity from which I haven't been spared

 From now on, I'll only know lovemaking through

 An act of intense terror

The malevolence which purs over me

You fill me with your rage

IT's mortifying, diabolical,

Controlling through this stage

I struggle to cope with what's happening

I'm praying for my death

I've done nothing wrong, I've been victimized

So I'll pray for yours instead

 The physical torment inflicted upon me

 Is insufferable but it doesn't compare

 To your terrible criminal mentality

 And the scars I'll forever bear

 To live through this brutal show of force

 Will cause me years of torment and grief

 Awaiting this misery to run its course

 As I scream out innocent pleas

(repeat bridge)

This violent form of incarceration

Trapped by savagery, helpless I lie

I refuse this indoctrination

Though you shatter this inner sanctum of mine

 An ancient inherited shame

 Bonding women and horror

 Out;lasting the boundaries of time

 Enslaved forevermore

I will force myself to carry on

And vengeance will be ultimately mine

If you are not imprisoned soon

By my hands you will die...

(chorus)

 I don't what your flesh

 I'm not your whore

 But you wnat my blood

 I'm not a whore

 Though rape you've created me

 A victim not above revenge

 A churning, seething mass of hate

 But you haven't conquered my soul
