The Sweet Revenge - Monarch lyrics

<b>Monarch</b> by <i>The Sweet Revenge</i><br />The father turns his anger on his own flesh and bone

As the boy who kneels before him takes his punishment alone

Each blow clearly echoes through his broken home

Just as every hurt and painful word prepares him for the throne

He can't escape the man that someday he'll become

Descendant of the scars he holds inside

The crown is handed down and he'll take on a role the violent

Monarchy has left behind

Keep your feelings in hiding

While the Monarch's presiding

In each bruise the makings of his new heir are sown not knowing

That the seeds he plants bear only violence when their grown

The boy will struggle with these lessons all his life

As the essence of the king, his father manifest in time

He'll bear the crown of anger, rise to seal his fate

As the offspring and successor to the man who taught him hate

He can't escape the man that someday he'll become

Descendant of the scars he holds inside

The crown is handed down and he'll take on a role the violent

Monarchy has left behind

The sons who follow in his bloodline will succumb to age old

Madness that they cannot fight

The crown is handed down and they'll take on the role the violent

Monarchy has left behind
