Tema

Una canción oscura y controvertida que explora el ciclo de **abuso familiar e incesto**. La letra pinta una imagen sombría de disfunción heredada, donde los traumas y los secretos se 'mantienen en el árbol genealógico', destacando la conspiración de silencio que rodea tales actos terribles.

Letra

Forgotten things remembered The tigers eat their young The body stayed but inside the head The mind was on the run Conspiracy of silence The only way out of pain Is turn around and run through it man Too wet to come in from the rain, Tell them... I know they were doing it to you But don't try doing it to me Let me show you, how I love you It's our secret, you and me Let me show you how I love you But keep it in the family tree... The secret of the family tree When you hear them saying "Trust me" Don't wait to see what's next Thrown to the wolves Forever trusting Raised in a form of living Hell Sing a one note song of rage Live and die within your heart So beware in the shadows Your family tree waits in the dark I say...
