This is obviously about a father raping his young daughter.
"Little girl sleeping in dreams of peace
Mommy's been gone a long time
Daddy comes home and she still sleeps
Waiting for the world's worst crime"
While the mother is away, her father goes to commit the worlds "worst crime."
"She smells his lust and she smells his sweat."
"And she knows she can't tell anyone
She's so full of guilt and shame
And if she tells she'll be all alone
They'd steal her Daddy and they'd steal her home"
If she speaks up about being raped by her father she will lose her home and her family will be broken, she feels ashamed about this.
"And it's not so bad when Daddy leaves her alone" Shes coming up with excuses for not speaking up by saying its not so bad when hes not hurting her.
"And Daddy lies by his daughter's side
And he sleeps both deep and well
No nightmares come to him tonight
Though his daughter lives in hell"
His daughter is suffering while he peacefully sleeps beside her. He doesnt suffer but she does.
"For his seed is sown where it should not be
And the beast in his mind doesn't care
And the only sounds are tears that fall
Little girl turns her face to the wall"
his "seed" is inside his daughter where it shouldn't be. He doesn't care at all. She cries.

There's no other way to interpret this song...
