Oh, Sleeper - The Family Ruin [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

She finds him by the fire
His clothes have got him drippin' from his crimes
He beckons her, "Sweet daughter"
The voice that once avenged her younger life

He's got the voice of a con
The same one
Who cut down in the name of his God
Who took on the robe of a judge
Without a license to kill without cause
He's not worth it
He's not worth it
He's not worth it
Remember what he did that made you question all the words he cited
From the book, the same book
That's reeling you home after so many years of silence

And the daughter watches father
As he sleeps and dreams, she brings the knife to light
Cause she knows he can't go farther
And he'll never wake to see his daughter cry

Don't lose control or you will long
To go back to this time and rewrite your thought
Cause you're about to choose what's to come
So ironic, it's ironic
It's ironic that you're contemplating murder while I'm educating you in mercy
You say you want, you say you want
The means to believe
Don't change who you are, cause who you are is how I made you to discover me

The steel marries his skin (No, it's not worth it, it's not worth it)
(I cut him down, I cut him down) He didn't have to fall
It's your fault, it's your fault, you lost control
And now you long to go back and rewrite your thought
But I won't let you slip away
Not this time, not this time
This time you're gonna learn what it means to receive the very mercy
That you denied when you denied
The means to believe
I'll keep feeding you the proof that you need
But you spit it out to further your doubt

And now he can't go farther
Cause he'll never wake to see his daughter cry
