Suffer the Little Children

Sweet Melissa, I often pray for you

I hope your suffering was brief

I hope the angels that watch over all little children

Came for you and took you someplace beautiful and sweet

Aahh..

Suffer The Little Children

Dear Melissa, I often think of you

Everytime I hold my baby in my arms

I say a prayer for your mama and daddy too

I know they miss you, miss you since you're gone

Suffer The Little Children

At the hands of evil men

No baby dolls, no teddy bears

No lullabies for them

Every mother's nightmare

Will it ever end

Suffer The Little Children

At the hands of evil men

You who done the deed better do some prayin' too

Better hope that God's forgivin' like they say

Cause somewhere, somebody keeps a list

Of the evils that men do

An' your name's right up there

I heard `em say

Aahh..

Suffer The Little Children

At the hands of evil men

No baby dolls, no teddy bears

No lullabies for them

Every mother's nightmare

Will it ever end

Suffer The Little Children

At the hands of evil men

They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears

They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears

Forgive and forget, all the while

Love and pain become one and the same

In the eyes of a wounded child

Because Hell

Hell Is For Children

And you know that their little lives can become such a mess

Hell

Hell Is For Children

And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing

They blacken your eyes, and then apologize

You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing

Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy

Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because Hell

Hell Is For Children

And you know that their little lives can become such a mess

Hell

Hell Is For Children

And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

No, Hell Is For Children

Hell

Hell is for Hell

Hell is for Hell

Hell Is For Children

Hell

Hell is for Hell

Hell is for Hell

Hell Is For Children

Hell

Hell is for Hell

Hell is for Hell

Hell Is For Children

Hell Is For Children

Hell Is For Children
