"Afflicted Past" lyrics - HATEBREED

Hatred evokes the memories that make your blood run cold

Fear and sorrow push you away from yourself. (chorus) How
Can you face the world? When you can't face the mirror. How
Can you leave your past? With blood on your hands? Can you
Run away all your life? Can you escape your punishment? How
Many times can you start it all again? How many lies will it

Take to cover your tracks? (chorus) No matter how far you go
Those days are right behind. The facade of your perfect life
Cannot hide your perfect past. There is no escape
