An Ancient Inherited Shame Lyrics - Singles - Dark Angel

"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
