Sodom & Gomorrah

from Enter Mynd, Part I by Blue Saint

/

lyrics

[Chorus]
They screaming:
Sodom and Gomorrah
This world a decay,
But all they can follow
And chase is the way
That they were brought up
And raised in this place
They screaming: Sodom and Gomorrah, Sodom and Gomorrah

[Verse 1]
A troubled child left bereft, parents neglect
His troubled eyes melts with stress, meaning he wept
Finds no meaning, in life, feeling
Like his life a mess
Feels like demons, starting to creep in, is his life a test?
In nights he wept, his cries would vent, the type of stress
-He'd find, content, in fighting pests, but they like to jest
They like to jest, line to jest, and ridicule, his life
Detests, the strife he's set
And these minuscule trife unkempt, people

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
She's a young girl looking for trouble
Though she don't know she's looking, mis-tooken, forsooken by couples
Couples of parents, coupled by parents, who booked when she struggled
To appear normal, normally a parent would look to uncover
The problems, instead of
Throwing her in homes to be fostered
Where she was abused, used,
Various brutes, had her muzzled
Maltreated, beaten,
Bruised and wounded in scuffles
By ruffians who'd leave her blued in a pool of her blood, so...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
A young mother, with nuttin' other, than a dumb lover
Her son, and her son's brothers
Need some crumbs or other
Types of food,
But all they gain's bread and circuses
Mother's lover gets younger stunners,
More disturbances
Plus her daughter's caught up, in problems, so she services a
Couple brethren, so she can check in, some cheques and
At age eleven a couple men would,
Hop in her bed and say:
"It's fine, just chill, it's fine babe"

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Ah, this young daughter Michelle
Used to, sexual abuse
At age four she was held
By her, mother's lover
And forced to unveil,
Private areas that she keeps
"Or else I'm on tell, a lie to your mother"
Blackmailed and compelled
She went under covers,
That's when her life derailed
No money in the house
Struck by poverty, kicked out,
Cos she don't act normal, she living in hell, she screaming...

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
...As she reassess, her living stresses, strenuous settings
That she's stepped on, the recesses,
Of her mind, let's up
She's dressed up, in an attire messed up, entire dress cut
-Up by death, she was left for dead on the streets, and then puffed,
Out some air
Somehow survived, a knife in her
-Thigh, she's sighs like "I'm still alive"
But her sides feel teared
She's laying by guttering,
Her gut just bleeding, in gutters seeping,
She feels gutted by her misfortunes...

[Chorus]

[Verse 6]
Friend of Michelle was Angela
Girlfriend of Raphael
Raphael's gang members, from his favela,
Misdirected vendettas, on Eric's familias
Pressured to bully Eric to prove how real he is
So what he do?
He bullies Eric, not knowing
What he's doing is abusing and hurting, an innocent child
Angela's crew, made him feel less important
They were the worst for bullying him,
Although Michelle didn't know it,
Yet!
Until he stepped in a sweat
Looking distressed, looking a mess
With heart out his chest,
Looking to be doing something stupid
He picked the switchblade
Picks it up and bickers with Michelle
Embittered, he sticks it in her ribcage

This the sorrow that they live with
Sinning in the city something like the scriptures
What is sinning?
Please answer please
What is sinning?
What's the question to belief?
What's belief? What's a priest?
What's a preacher? What's a preach?
There's believers, there's deceit
There's the truth, there is greed
What's a beacon of peace?
What's a sinner, what's a winner? What's a stealer? What's a killer?
What is dinner, when you feast? In..

[Chorus]

[Verse 7]

[Outro]
Oh Sodom and Gomorrah...
This place a decay,
A place made for our graves
If we continue, through these ways
We'll bring hell and brimstone
To our place

A place where the rapists vacating
Where arrogance, indifference
Is staying

We're overfed, committing these tainted
Acts, but we act like it's okay,
Cos this is...
