Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You starve your children on neglect
Then feed their bellies with fear
Concussion bat to the brain
Witness to a battered mother
[Verse 2]
Your abuse will end right here
No longer will your family fear
A gunshot to the head of trepidation
My promise if you ever lay a finger
[Verse 3]
Just look at these scars you make
Your terror makes your kids break
A broken home just as you were raised
With fists raised up to your children
[Verse 4]
Your abuse will end right here
No longer will your family fear
A gunshot to the head of trepidation
My promise if you ever lay a finger
[Verse 5]
This battle is on all
You've made beautiful now hateful
You wretched life wrecker
Abuser now suffer
[Verse 6]
Open fire
On the desire of the man
Open fire
With strife we'll strike down the hand
If I can't make you see the damage you've made
(Open fire, build the pyre)
I'll make you wish you'd never been alive
(Open fire, build the pyre)
[Verse 7]

[Verse 8]
Open fire
On the desire of the man
Open fire
With strife we'll strike down the hand
Open fire
On the desire of the man
Open fire
With strife we'll strike down the hand
If I can't make you see the damage you've made
(Open fire, build the pyre)
I'll make you wish you'd never been alive
(Open fire, build the pyre)
