The Family Ruin - Oh, Sleeper

She finds him by the fire

His clothes have got him drippin' from his crimes

He beckons her, «Sweet daughter»

The voice that once avenged her younger life

He’s got the voice of a con, the same one

Who cut down in the name of his God!

Who took on the robe of a judge

With not a license to kill without cause

He’s not worth it

He’s not worth it

He’s not worth it

Remember what he did that made you question all the words he cited!

From the book, the same book

That’s reeling you home after so many years of silence

And the daughter watches father

As he sleeps and dreams, she brings the knife to light

Cause she knows he can’t go farther

And he’ll never wake to see his daughter cry

Don’t lose control or you will long

To go back to this time and rewrite your thought

Cause you’re about to choose what’s to come

So ironic, it’s ironic

It’s ironic that you’re contemplating murder while I’m educating you in mercy

You say you want, you say you want, the means to believe

Don’t change who you are, cause who you are is how I made you to discover me

The steel marries his skin

No, it’s not worth it, it’s not worth it

(I cut him down, I cut him down!)

He didn’t have to fall

It’s your fault, it’s your fault, you lost control

And now you long to go back and rewrite your thought

But I won’t let you slip away

Not this time, not this time

This time, you’re gonna learn what it means to receive the very mercy

That you denied when you denied, the means to believe

I’ll keep feeding you the proof that you need

But you spit it out to further your doubt

And now he can’t go farther

Cause he’ll never wake to see his daughter cry…
