I was born like so many others, without love
Brought into this world, and left to suffer
Now I'm dying to live, but I don't know, what I'm after
Day after day, I will pay for the lies, my wicked mother told
I'm misery's child, in the night I run wild
I'm misery's child
My mother was a sinner, she was damned to hell for life
She walked down a trail of fire, my father, would have made her his wife
In the darkness, angels of lust, came to their bed
In a burst of fury, evil rose it's head
And I'm misery's child, every night I run wild
I'm misery's child, ooh
She left me to die, she wanted to teach me
I learned how to cry, (and that's all I ever learned)
From all the times that she beat me
I need to know why... She wanted to keep me
Was she to high to know how to treat me
She didn't know
How to treat me
And now she'll never know
I'm misery's child, in the night I run wild
I'm misery's child, I've got anger inside
I'm misery's child!
And now I'm dying to meet you
