Summer's edge, a time of innocence and life
But a cancer, threatening, comes in closer
To the playgrounds and the water parks
Like a wolf to the lambs at the slaughter

And he moves in a little closer
Testing out the waters edge
Making sure all is unaware
So he can let his demons go

Spoken:
The demon inside his head, passed down by one who came before him
Like the impulse of the alcoholic for a drink, a need forms and grows stronger
Until the need outweighs the conscience and when satiated leaves in it's path shattered lives, and families in

PAIN!!!!

And he hears their footfalls
And they smell his fear
And he feels the hands
That hold him fast

Spoken:
The posse forms, moving from house to house, looking for the totems that the innocents have lost
Closing in, they smell the fear of the one they hunt, a smell their prey has brought to his nose many times before
And as he thinks on this he sees his victims...

PAIN!!!!!!

They took their hearts out down by the river
And poked them full of holes
Immersed them in the dirty water
In hopes it'd cleanse their souls
