Awaken the Beast Songtext
von Overtoun

They say I don′t deserve to be here
In a drunken rage
I never asked to be near
This constant hate that I face
Condemned for wearing skin darker
Not what lies within

They say I don't deserve to be here
That I should leave this place
I never asked to be here
This constant fate that I hate
Condemned for speaking my native tongue among them
And my own don′t understand
What I feel


I exist in the in-between of worlds all alone
They don't know what I am
Just that I am not one of them
And my own will never know
How I suffer silently
I am never at home
Even amongst my own

As far back as I can recall
I've felt the very sight of me
Awakens the beast

They refuse to shake my hand
For the way I dress
As though through that they understand
That I am worth less
Their eyes
They violate I and those with me

They refuse to accept my service
For the way I appear
As though it would make the others nervous
Just by having me near
Their eyes
Discriminate I and those like me
And my own don′t understand what I feel


I exist in the in-between of worlds all alone
They don′t know what I am
Just that I am not one of them
And my own will never know
How I suffer silently
I am never at home
Even amongst my own

As far back as I can recall
I've known the very sight of me
Awakens the beast
