Peruvian Skies Lyrics

Cover art for Peruvian Skies lyrics by Dream Theater

I believe that Vanessa is the reporter or the one that wrote the article that JP read, not the girl being raped and beaten. She is the one that regretfully waits. At the beginning of the song, Vanessa "regretfully waits" while the "story unfolds" for the incident to be comepletley over so she can have the story.

The "Monster you created in your daddy's name" I think means the guilt and regret that the reporter "Vanessa" has is killing her inside. The girl being raped, and Vanessa are both victims. She watches helplessly. "Telling her secrets won't take them away"

One way to look at it I guess...
