Theme
A dark, fatalistic song about a child born into an inescapable cycle of misery and rage (**'The beginning of sorrow'**). It tells the story of an unwanted child (**'Ward of the State'**) who grows up delinquent and full of hate, implying that their destiny of revenge and suffering is inevitable, leading to a **'vicious cycle never ends'**.
Lyrics
**Beginning of Sorrow**
There'll be **no tomorrow**
**Beginning of Sorrow**
Easy prey, so **innocent**
She barely was a **teen**
Hooked up with Mr. Right now
A **nightmare that stole her dreams**
**Complications come**
The Doctor says you gotta know
You decide if the **baby lives**
But **one of you has got to go**
The **Beginning of Sorrow**, **Beginning of Sorrow**
There will be **no tomorrow**, There'll be **no tomorrow**
The **Beginning of Sorrow**, **Beginning of Sorrow**
There will be **no tomorrow**
Brought forth in **agony**
This **life was misbegot**
Born in an **alleyway**
A **child nobody will adopt**
**Delinquent in a foster home**
His heart is so **full of rage**
His first name's "**Ward**"
His last name is "**Of the State**"
Solo - Dave
Acoustic - Chris
**Origo doloris non erit crastinus dies**
Solo - Dave
Like father, like son
Soon he gets **revenge**
**Two souls soon become one**
The **vicious cycle never ends**
**Unwanted, unloved**
He lives now just to **hate**
From the **pain of being born**
And **nothing can take that away**
The **Beginning of Sorrow**, **Beginning of Sorrow**
There will be **no tomorrow**, There'll be **no tomorrow**
The **Beginning of Sorrow**, **Beginning of Sorrow**
There will be **no tomorrow**...
