What They've Done - Lethal

I counted the seconds

As they passed me by like hours

Avoiding contact with the world

That seeks to find me

Somehow they’ve found a way

Of making me their firing range

The tragedy has just begun

Now we must pay for what they’ve done

They came for me today

I found no escape

They’re coming to rescue me

From your disgrace

Why did they discard

The embryo’s contract

It was never easy to pretend there was a reason

Turning in this vicious groove

I have fallen into

My father my government

Forgot me when I was a child

Someday when I am stronger

I’ll find my way across the room

And open up the door they’ve closed

I am so afraid of what they’ve done

They came for me today

I found no escape

They’re coming to rescue me

From your disgrace

Why did they discard

The embryo’s contract

It was never easy to pretend there was a reason

Outside my window lies

The promise of my freedom

I searched and found no sanctuary

To shelter my exposure to the rain

Time was gaining on me

I ran as fast as I could

The fever came to fast

Infected with tomorrow

Sometimes it seems to me

This is all we are meant to be

Is there anyone above

To make them pay for what they’ve done

They came for me today

I found no escape

They’re coming to rescue me

From your disgrace

Why did they discard

The embryo’s contract

It was never easy to pretend there was a reason

Outside my window lies

The promise of my freedom

I searched and found no sanctuary

To shelter my exposure to the rain
