CURSED BLOOD
Lyrics: Eric Bailey
Music: Marc

Why must I be born with this cursed blood?

An innocent child brought into this world
Doomed from the start
A demon named alcohol
Has entered his fathers heart
The mother’s just a teen in this land…
How could she raise three?
Let alone just one man!

This child has cursed blood
Running through his veins
Bathed in madness
Will he ever be the same?

Taken from their home just when they’re young
Rescued by fate or by someone who cared
What would happen or what would soon become?
Their story left unknown or told from one who dared

This child has cursed blood
Running through his veins
Bathed in madness
Will he ever be the same?
This child has cursed blood
Running through his veins
What will he become?
He’ll never be the same

Love, hatred, shame
What the hell?
Are these feelings
Or things to sell?
Dazed and confused
What to do?
Unsure of life
Just to be in someone else’s shoes.

This child has cursed blood
Running through his veins
Bathed in madness
Will he ever be the same?
This child has cursed blood
Running through his veins
Forced into this world
Damned to be insane

Should he be proud of his blood
Or live in shame
Just one of three sons
To be damned with this cursed blood
The demon that’s inside
Promises life to be hard
Will there be one
Who was dealt the winning card

This child has cursed blood
Running through his veins
Bathed in madness
Will he ever be the same?
This child has cursed blood
Running through his veins
Forced into this world
Damned to be insane.

THE SECRET
Lyrics: Eric Bailey
Music: Marc

Shelter….
In this holy place
Rescued by the elders
The demons been given chase
The children are home
Forever to be safe
Now with this help
They’ll finally find their place

Oh so innocent
How could they know?
This is a pain
No child should ever know

Never again to be apart
Their chance at life has come
Who knew they would ever see
The demon ever return
The heads a man of God
The curse soon to be seen
Oh the look in his eyes
The demon’s been released from inside!

Oh so innocent
How could they know?
This is a pain
No child should ever know
Oh so innocent
How could this be?
This sin committed
They never should have seen

What’s this feeling inside?
How could this be right?
This is a secret
You’re not allowed to say
Have I done wrong
To have this done to me?
Just a single word from one
They’ve finally broken free!

Oh so innocent
How could they know?
This is a pain
No child should ever know
Oh so innocent
How could this be?
This sin committed
They never should have seen
Oh so innocent
How to forgive?
With this done
How are they to live?

(child) Oh God what’s this pain?
(eric) Your children won’t be the same
(child) Why did this happen?
(eric) The innocence is gone
Someone has to stop this curse
Before the demon has won

THE FIGHT
Lyrics: Eric Bailey
Music: Marc

On their own what would they do?
Their future's a mystery
In his hands…
Only he knew

Theirs, a battle from within
Surrounded by walls of demons
How could they ever win?

The eldest with his wings spread to fly
His battle only just begun
Taken from this life too soon
Would the others meet this tragic doom?
He was their guide
The one to look for his victory quickly denied
Now who unlocks the door?

Fight this unwholy war they must
Frightened and alone who to trust ?
Two left standing on the field
Will they have the strength or will they yield ?

The youngone frightened by the unknown
His family by his side
He had only to gain, nothing to lose
Which path would he now choose?
His fight still to be faced
Would he succeed and finish this race?
In his fear he did confide
And now he can do is run and hide

Fight this unwholy war they must
Frightened and alone who to trust?
This is not a game
It’s a battle to never be the same
Fight this unwholy war they must
Frightened and alone who to trust?
Haunted by fear they cry for help
They know they can only save themselves

I , the second of three,
To which a son was bore
Is it in me to guide, to stand by
And help unlock this door?

Born with this awful curse
Oh yes its true!
All I can hear is…
“it has to stop with you!”

Fight this unholy war they must
Frightened and alone who to trust?
This is not a game
It’s a battle to never be the same
Fight this war alone I must
I’ve found few in life to trust
You’ve taken one of mine
Now I stand to leave this curse behind!

Protection is all I ask
so I can finish this war
beaten and bruised, I must go on
this I do for you my son,
you won’t have to hide behind the CURSED MASK
