The man
 
Me and my sister went out to play
Amongst the flowers on a summers day
We picked the buttercups and roses
We drenched each other with hoses

To dry quickly in the hot sun
After each other we did run
We ran all the way to the woods

In the woods we met a man
He had something to show us in his van
Curious we ran up to see
We were locked inside and he threw away the key

My sister cried while I tried to escape
The man held me down and took off my clothes
I tried my best to move away
But i knew it was too late, i knew i would be raped

When all was over i layed still not knowing what to do
Am i going to die here?
The man moved closer to my sister
In her eyes you could see fear

With his back turned i sat up
My sisters screams covered my noise
I found a pen knife in a bag
I picked it up with an oily rag

The man stripped my sister bare
All my siser could do is stare
I took the knife and slit his throat
'you f**king bitch' he did quote

The man died while we got dressed
The van was messed
We screamed and cried together
We will remember this forever

In the van we stayed for days
Out of the warming suns rays
I wake to the sound of my name
My sisters name was being called all the same

We shouted and screamed and rocked the van
With the sickening smell of the dead man
The shouting was now outside
We were going to be saved

The van was cut open
We ran out
Into the arms of a dozen police
My body felt peace

Back to mummy and daddy we did go
The weather went from sun to snow
Now when me and my sister play
Away from the woods we do stay
