HoGW Special: A Curse of Retribution

Let me curse! Let me curse!

Let me lay my curse

Let me hex their lives

Let me wish their death

Let me vent my hate!

They must suffer. Yes, suffer!

They must feel despair

They must dread each step

HoGW Special: The Just Beast

And holds no true satisfaction

What court? What Jury?

HoGW Special: A Path to Tread

Heaven knows, oh heaven knows

How hard I’ve tried

How far I’ve gone

In my struggle, in my battle

To do good, to do right

To stay on the path of righteousness

To make my maker proud.

It is difficult...

HoGW Special: Scribbles on a Wall

I suffer and scream 

A soundless scream

Of pain and frustration

Of sorrow and despair

For I am in hell

A miserable place

A terrible place

A horrible place

A pl...
