A purple bruise   A fractured limb      All covered up with lies      A swollen face   A bloody tongue   This violence denied      Empty now and meaningless   Ridiculed in shame   Until death do us apart   Who should take the blame?      To live a lie   Forgive or die      A stricken look   A lowered head   Reflections, turning back      A trembling hand   A quickened step   The dreaded, next attack      Turning from the holy ghost   Light and spirit fade   Waiting for deliverance   Every thing betrayed      A vacant stare   A beat up faith   The book of truth reviled      A prayer to God   A plea for help   Held ransom with the child      Wide awake and holding tears   Fear that never sleeps   Curled up in the bed at night   The virgin gently weeps      To live a lie   Forgive or die   To live a lie   Forgive or die
