Seventh Sin

Unfortunate Child

Seventh Sin


As soon as she realises what happened, 
She starts running 
In the grip of panic, 
Fighting her tears in vain 

For the first time in her life 
Only twelve years old 
She met, in this way, a knife 
Remembering it, she trembles cold 

Stopping to take a breath 
She hears a cry for help 
Walking towards it, followed by death 
She finds a wounded man 
Seeing who came to him, he dies, there and then 

Hearing a wolf-like cry, makes her run again 
Not knowing where to go, she decides "east" 
Her little feet can't outrun the men 
That hunt her down like a beast 

Refrein…………….. 

After two days and nights, she decides 
To hide for the terrible rites 
Certainly she has to bear 
If they take her to their lair 

The blood still drips from her skirt 
The moment she's found 
Never knew how much it hurt 
To be bitten by a hound 

Refrein…………… 

Facing the judge, guilty as charged 
Unable to supress the tears 
Unable to remember the years 
Of being young and innocent 
Being shure, soon it'll all end 

Refrein………………… 

For the LAST time in her life 
Still twelve years old 
She met, in another way, a knife 
Gliding down, hard and cold
