Because his father was a man of the cross,Who said his son was a slave to the fleshWhen the spectacle ended, The charges were dropped.Marvin was left with a hole in his chest.He could've brought down a mountainwhen he pounded on a tableor made the world collapsefor a lapse in behavior.The pastor never spared the rodbut taught the wrath and fear of Godto stop this, godlesspassion from burningBarking from the throne while the castle falls...He had a hand to smash the balance,A voice like a vortex,A temper like a terror threat,A head like a hornet's nestEvery day the levee breaksThe flood gates, the bloody faceThe black eye, baptized in shameHe brought home the battlefieldSealed off the exitsCrawling up the wallsAbsorbing the aggressionThe source of his depressionLetras de cancionesThe hurricane raging,The awful tension sent his hands to the pianoforged a heaven in his heart,but dragged him back to hellwhen the arguments would startBecause his father was a man of the cross,Who said his son was a slave to the fleshWhen the spectacle ended, The charges were dropped.Marvin was left with a hole in his chest.He mapped the length of his son's backwith a leather beltSapped his strength with tongue lashingsand heavy guiltAttacked his legs with such savageand deadly skillThe cracks left in the punched plasterwere never filledPatched together from fragmentsa sense of himselfAdvocate for compassionand the sensualAs parents sent the young packingto the depths of hellThe tattoo of guns clapping;the end of the worldA marriage bed unraveling& a wedding bellcracked. He fell into drug habitsthe empty shellThe tragic end of love's passiona temple that fellThe collapse of such a fragileand sensitive willRelapsed to ugly patternsof kill or be killed.To combat the drunken shadowand wrestle the swell.Came back to the blood he battledWhere the devil dwelledTo smash the glass;and shatter himself.After the sudden blastA heavy quiet fellHe asked his father "Why?"The silence wouldn't tell.After the gun blastA heavy quiet fellHe asked his father "Why?"Because his father was a man of the cross,Who said his son was a slave to the fleshWhen the spectacle ended, The charges were dropped.Marvin was left with a hole in his chest.
