She was only seven when it all went down
Dad took advantage and she didn't even notice
Rita was the prettiest girl
A budding flower, pure dolce vita
At night, in her room she saw shadows
Rita, welcome to the grown-ups' world
This was the first of many abuses
And as time went by, it left neighbors confused
Hospital trips became frequent
They ended in IVs, bruises and treatments
But Rita kept growing while hiding that pain
In a colorless dream full of rage and rancor
In a black-and-white life where black rules
Rita, the girl from the corner
Time passed and the girl didn't smile
'Cause she only cried when her dad raped her
'Cause she only prayed for it all to end
That crook left her with a downcast gaze
And the teacher said she was distracted
Of course, she lived with a suicidal
And when the bell rang
She didn't wanna go home, much less alone
She grabbed some pencils and drew in her notebook
A house with Hell's address
The postcode was 666
Where the Devil penetrated her and laid down every rule
Life's TV, shown raw and bare
She didn't draw her dad, she drew Beelzebub
She drew an imaginary mother in gold
A routine image: seeing Dad drunk
And the watchword now
Is to survive, 'cause he doesn't care
He doesn't even feed her anymore
He doesn't even care about her
Seen under a lens in a cell
Forced to grow up in that hostile climate
Alongside a beast who loved that style
A wretch with no other name
It's sad 'cause he was still hungry
But don't get it twisted, it ain't table food
Because he was the predator
And the girl was the prey
That's how it went, he never missed a Friday
He fulfilled the prophecy, with Christ at the bedside
But besides Friday, it was already routine
All week long, it was the pure ritual
Rita looked in the mirror
That she wished she'd never known
The worst is that that coward
Kept the massacre on cassette
Filmed everything, then posted it online
But Rita held on only till seventeen
Better hear the rest, 'cause this looks promising!
One day she gets home turned inside out
Dropped the bag on the floor
And placed the rosary on her chest
She prayed to God and before anything
Waiting for him to come in
Before he penetrated her
He opens the door and says
"Sorry for what I've done!
But with your mom's death
Forgive me for touching you!"
She sticks the knife in him and says
This is for everybody who's ever been abused by those parasites
'Cause there are plenty of Ritas out there
