Theme
A dark, fatalistic song about a child born into an inescapable cycle of misery and rage (**'The beginning of sorrow'**). It tells the story of an unwanted child (**'Ward of the State'**) who grows up delinquent and full of hate, implying that their destiny of revenge and suffering is inevitable, leading to a **'vicious cycle never ends'**.
Lyrics
Beginning of Sorrow
There'll be no tomorrow
Beginning of Sorrow
Easy prey, so innocent
She barely was a teen
Hooked up with Mr. Right now
A nightmare that stole her dreams
Complications come
The Doctor says you gotta know
You decide if the baby lives
But one of you has got to go
The Beginning of Sorrow, Beginning of Sorrow
There will be no tomorrow, There'll be no tomorrow
The Beginning of Sorrow, Beginning of Sorrow
There will be no tomorrow
Brought forth in agony
This life was misbegot
Born in an alleyway
A child nobody will adopt
Delinquent in a foster home
His heart is so full of rage
His first name's "Ward"
His last name is "Of the State"
Solo - Dave
Acoustic - Chris
Origo doloris non erit crastinus dies
Solo - Dave
Like father, like son
Soon he gets revenge
Two souls soon become one
The vicious cycle never ends
Unwanted, unloved
He lives now just to hate
From the pain of being born
And nothing can take that away
The Beginning of Sorrow, Beginning of Sorrow
There will be no tomorrow, There'll be no tomorrow
The Beginning of Sorrow, Beginning of Sorrow
There will be no tomorrow...
