Sins of the Father

He's hoping there is hope, but he knows there is none,
Search-light for the light, but the darkness has won,
Turns his back on the deed, but the deed is done,
A father so silent has silenced the son,

The son lies limp, no pulse lies in his skin,
The father fought the darkness, and thought he could win,
Always was a fighter but lost the fight within,
His virtues weren't virtuous, and demons let him sin,

Now he's held up in his hell, he'll go to hell for sure,
Today he lost the battle, and so tonight he lost the war,
So beautiful a baby, and now a man he is no more,
A father fathered a curse, and killing is the cure
