Shadows of the bottles

Verse 1
In the kitchen, where the whiskey flows like tears,
embittered souls, seemingly trapped in chains,
father roars, mother trembles, both united in intoxication,
rage ignites, hearts cold, love weeps away.

Children cower, shadows in the twilight,
blows fall like rain, hard and relentless,
alcohol the ruler, violence the faithful servant,
no embrace, only fists to force them.

Chorus
Oh, cursed inheritance, born from bottles,
love fails, drowned in rage, lost forever.

Children grow up in darkness, without the light of tenderness,
knowing not to love, only to suffer for eternity.

Double pain that rhymes with pure despair,
parents' sin, the children bear, a burden so heavy and stubborn.

Verse 2
Mother sips from her glass, eyes glassy and empty,
Memories of dreams shattered so completely,
Father lashes out because the world broke and destroyed him,
Children as a release valve, innocent yet sacrificed.

No bedtime stories, only screams in the night,
Bruises bloom like flowers that never see the light.
Alcoholic fog where reason drowns in the current,
Violence unleashed, untamed, an eternal drum.

Chorus
Oh, cursed inheritance, born from bottles,
Love fails, drowned in rage, lost forever.

Children grow up in darkness, without the light of tenderness,
Not knowing how to love, only how to suffer for eternity.

Double pain that rhymes with pure despair,
Parents' sin, the children bear, a burden so heavy and stubborn.

Bridge
In the future, if they flee, they carry the curse with them,
Hearts hardened like stone, no feeling soft anymore.

How can they embrace when they've only known blows?

Love a foreign word, banished and exiled by violence.

The cycle turns, bitter and relentless,
Without healing, without mercy, eternally and tirelessly.

Verse 3
Parents' eyes, red with poison, reflect only hatred,
Children learn early that affection is a lie.

No comfort in arms, only the sting of the hard hand,
The future darkens where love never found ground.

Alcohol the thief, who steals and breaks souls,
Violence the shadow, eternally lurking in the light.

Bitterness weaves nets, tight and oppressively fine,
Children cannot escape, trapped in eternal pain.

Refrain (Outro)

Oh, cursed inheritance, born from bottles,

Love fails, drowned in rage, lost forever.

Children grow up in darkness, without the light of tenderness,
Not knowing how to love, only to suffer for eternity.

Double pain, rhyming with pure despair,

Parents' sin, the children carry, a burden so heavy and stubborn.

Endless the rhyme, endless the pain, fading into silence,

Love unattainable, sealed in bottles and cold.
