'Divide and conquer' 

a wise old man once said,

And that is the plan then carried by death,

Together they would always stand,

Til the devil's minions took them to hand

start with mommy, that's the way

and bring her to her knees

drive her mad with tortured pain

defenses down by three

with mommy gone take out big sister

and break her heart in half

surround her with darkness, let it kiss her

and watch the aftermath

with big sister gone comes sister two,

the one who makes us smile

inject her with darkness through and through

she gives up after miles

with big sister and sister two that leaves

the firstborn son who carries the flame

surround him with children who bully and tease

he laughs at others' pain

of course leave the little ones alone

it's a little early yet

but with the rest of the family said and done

there's only just one left

now that we've taken mommy, sissy

sister too and firstborn son

it's time to take away our daddy

the strength with which we won

in the past.

daddy grows dark with a poison heart

and a monster in his chest

he let his family get ripped apart

and now there's nothing left
