about

Interesting story:
This song is about an "Anti-rock" seminar I was sent to at 10 years of age. They played records backwards and showed pictures of "Satanic" album covers. It gave me nightmares for years afterwards and corrupted much of my childhood innocense.

lyrics

They came and stole my life way back in 1985
Replacing my soul with a sense of shame
I never could shake it , I tried so hard to break it
Try fighting a face that has no name

Destroying all the hopes a boy can have
Imposing a form of truth with teeth, that tears out joy

Hey there boy, I got some news for you
Everything you love and everything you do
Is going to take you down in a matter of time
Just lay your head down and resign to die!

Truth without love is just abuse
Words without any use
It put my soul in chains again
I never could fake it, I tried so hard to make it
But I was buried beneath remains

Destroying all the hopes a boy can have
Imposing a form of truth with teeth, that tears out joy

Hey there boy, I got some news for you
Everything you love and everything you do
Is going to take you down in a matter of time
Just lay your head down and resign to die!
I'm not going to fake it, I refuse to lie
Even if my truth makes you break down and cry
I will steal your joy and I corrupt your faith
I'm the darkness you forever try to dominate!!
