LEFT FOR DEAD - Standing by

vor kurzem wurden ja alle songs der grossen LEFT FOR DEAD auf A389 wiederveröffentlicht.mit deren lyrics hatte ich mich schon lange nicht mehr auseinandergesetzt, beim text von "standing by" hat auf jeden fall -sagen wir mal- eine glocke geklingelt:

no allowance of time could change the reality of what you've done

no penance could wash you clean as i move on

my only consolation is the knowledge of you suffering

living in filth dying in filth

      drowning,choking on your own waste

      to see you this helpless and my turn to stand idle by

                                  i'm standing by

                                       my only involvement is to laugh as you sink

                                living in filth dying in filth

                                 you are everything i hate

(in which a menacing father figure comes back into the picture seeking absolution as a defleated,dying old ghost and the child as a grown man finally gets to spit in his face).
