Diabolics

The rhythm's diabolic
Thunder fills the air
Hot lightning streaks the skyline
We run loose - on a dare

Parents concern - as children turn - to run and hide
In the end we learn - fire doesn't always burn - it's not always safer inside

We slither toward our quarry
We pray to make amends
We love and hate, then worry
How can we hurt our friends ?

We only go this way once
Yet, our children live in fear
Teach them nothing is so frightening
As the feeling no one's near...

Parents concern - as children turn - to run and hide
In the end we learn - fire doesn't always burn - it's not always safer inside

And we can try to instruct them - over their shoulders
Just allow them space as they grow older
Their heads are filled with such bright dreams
Give them freedom while in their teens

You're under mental torture
Tears fill up your eyes
So these vultures all around you
See through macho disguise

It's their sole goal to conquer
Capture all you have
And all the while they'll tell you
Convince you they're not bad

Parents concern - as children turn - to run and hide
In the end we learn - fire doesn't always burn - it's not always safer inside

So diabolic
