Offspring

.

As you kick in my belly

The sun shines on me

It is just the two of us now

How it was always meant to be

Here in the place that time stood still

Where the outside is not welcome

And dare not come

I have sold my soul to the devil

For you sweet child of mine

I have no regrets

The man who would be your father

Was unworthy and cruel

For you my sweet child

I ripped out his still beating heart

None shall lay a hand on you

It will be only you and me

Forever…
