Из альбома: At the Edge of Damnation
They thought he was the anti-christ,
For it was the time of his coming
Evil was inside the boy,
You could see the devil in his eyes
They would drive devil out,
They would follow the
Teachings of the lord
They would deliver his soul from hell
Withhold not correction from the child
For if thou beatest him with
A rod he shall not die
We shall deliver his soul from hell
They took him to a darkened room,
To beat the devil out of him,
This violence was the only way, they said,
To make him well again
But the boy could take no more,
The spasms racked his body,
And he did lay in death so still
They said it was a demonic attack
And so they laid him on the bed,
Left the room and locked the door
They thought that life would soon return,
The good lord would not let him die
Time passed and the flesh did rot
One by one they were led away,
But still inside their twisted minds,
They could not accept the truth
