Victims

They are lurking in the shadows
Creatures draining us of life
They are waiting for the moment
When (the) time has come to strike
They weeded out a weakness
Make you seem like their saviour
Until you give them all your trust.

Turned into victims, drowned in a dream
Path of betrayal, always unseen
Victims of torture, victims of dreams
Ripping your hearts out, dare not to scream.

They are tightening your noose
You've got nothing left to lose
Leaving everything but hope
As you're going down this slope
Now you're trying to adapt
Until reopening all cuts
Bleed until the last drop's gone.

Turned into victims, drowned in a dream
Path of betrayal, always unseen
Victims of torture, victims of dreams
Ripping your hearts out, dare not to scream.

You gave them all you got
You gave them all your trust
They left you there to rot
Broken, scorned, empty, crushed
There's nothing there
But sheer desperation.

Turned into victims, drowned in a dream
Path of betrayal, always unseen
Victims of torture, victims of dreams
Ripping your hearts out, dare not to scream
All hail the victim, an instrument to fear.
