Born in the dirge and slime of a harsh and worried world
No tender touch to comfort cold and frightened skin
To a woman too ignorant to know you were alive
Where is the hope for one so helpless to survive?
Shed blood and tears so you will pay
Her debt for the rest of your life
Never to feel
The tenderness
Love's innocence can bring
Your suffering will bring no end
To a hell not of your making
There's no faithfulness, no hope
No love
In a world that doesn't care
Chorus
Given no choice so take the hand you're dealt
Find the spirit to lift you from the dark
Play your numbers in a game of chance and chaos
Don't look back; just run for you know
T'was never where your heart belonged
Old barren woman seized her opportunity
Stealing the new-born
Womb still bleeding from the birth
Wretches don't care enough
To set injustice right
Just seeing ways to make
Improvements to their own lives!
Shed blood and tears so you will feel
Her pain 'til the end of your life
Never to know
The tenderness
Love's innocence can bring
Your suffering will bring no end
To this hell not of your making
There's no charity, no truth
And no prayer
In a world that doesn't care
Chorus
Given no choice so take the hand you're dealt
Find the spirit to lift you from the dark
Play your numbers in a game of chance and chaos
Don't look back; just run for you know
T'was never where your heart belonged
Instrumental break
Chorus
Given no choice but to take the hand you're dealt
Find the spirit to lift you from the dark
Play your numbers in a game of chance and chaos
Don't look back; just run for you know
That's never where your soul belongs
