Fritzl's Cellar

Held underground for 24 years in an Austrian torture vault
The concrete walls sweat viciously with memory to why they stand
Eight doors must be crossed to reach the horror that's inside
The invasive stench of incest and murder lingers in the air

The fear of being gassed overrules the plan to escape

Above ground, a family man hides his workshop to the world
Raising three of his cellar children as orphans found outside
Rosemarie lies and states that she was not aware
Of her daughter's life being entombed a few feet below

An accomplice from the beginning, turning her head to early abuse

Descending to the cellar several times a day
Re-enacting porno scenes with his own DNA
Beatings are fierce, resisting, brings them on
Elizabeth's will was broken, all her hope was lost

Captive slave
Prisoner of the dark
Captive slave of Fritzl

Forced to bare their children alone
With only a pair of scissors to cut the umbilical cord
Their offspring will have genetic disabilities
Along with other side effects of inbreeding

Captive slave
Prisoner of the dark
Captive slave

Seven born, six to survive
Three in the darkness, three in the light
One of them died during infancy
And then cast into the furnace

Captive bred eyes burn from the light, no more walls of incest
Now try hard to piece together something that never existed
