What vision, what spectre beguiles my night? The serpent, the reaper, the slithering scythe Why do you seek me, what summons this fright? I've come to collect you, for that is my right What madness! What horror! What cruel hand of fate Come now, don't linger, the maker awaits Dark menace, harsh master, you fill me with dread Perhaps then another to fall in your stead?
With stinging fang and deadly coil A brutal scythe that clefts the heart Soon your blood begins to boil Your fraying sanity departs And as you face your bitter end The answer cuts just like a knife All he asks is for your soul He'll gladly give you back your life Hand you your life...
What have I become now what must I remain? An agent of fortune, humanity's band To skulk in the darkness, the shadow of fear To revel in dying and bask in the tears Of innocent victims and battle-torn foes To lead them to death and to suck out their souls A god among vermin with death's grinning face Both master and slave to this fool human race
With poison tooth and writhing coil A killing tool without a heart Eternal, fierce, deadly and loyal My scant humanity departs And as I face their final hour At times I'm torn with bitter strife I steer them down the darkened path And then I take away their lives I take their lives...
The days, the years, it's centuries now Yes, still I did die on that day Now withered and wise I've grown to despise Creation and man's wicked ways Fathers and mothers, their children Scorned lovers, dear friends The meek and the mighty I've taken them all to their end Princes and beggars my touch is a fate they will share My one regret is reserved for the wretches I've spared
There was a time I believed in the lie In honor, in fairy tale dreams These visions of lives Shattered in fate's cruel heaving tides And I can't get them out of my eyes My blade shapes a race of futility, loss and despair This gift now a burden beyond what I ever could bear I can not I will not suffer eternity bound to this place To rain death and damnation And end this foul human race!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
