The Root Of All Evil

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

All these roots run deep,

And this tree is old,

This trunk is rotten

All these leaves have mold

is it in our blood?

or is it from abuse?

past generations

legacy of misuse?

I know my blood runs hot,

And I've seen my blood is thick

I'm told my bloods not sweet,

And I cry, "my soul is sick"

we're the children of children

and we're handing down there pain

the root of all evil

is the sanity left to gain?

chorus -

we were the victims, we were the culprets

we were the children who cry at night

we are the hunted, and we do the hurting

we are the children who cry at night

the fathers father father

may have made this truth

or was it in HIS blood

this legacy of abuse

we're the children of children

and wer'e handing down there pain

the root of all evil

is the sanity left to gain?

Chorus

All these roots run deep,

And this tree is old,

This trunk is rotten

All these leaves have mold

is it in our blood?

or is it from abuse?

past generations

legacy of misuse?

Chorus
