I have come to steal kill and destroy
I’m the father of despair
I’m the one who brings you grief
It’s carried on the air

Long ago, it was buried deep
They all hoped it would be forgotten
In the foulest pits beneath
In the festering slime of oblivion
Over years, many tales were told
A being of purest evil
Once thought to be dead and cold
Stirring once again

Steal, Kill, Destroy
I plunder and abuse
Steal, Kill, Destroy
My name is known to all
Whose thoughts I can misuse

Whispers spread throughout the land
Of a darkness waking below
Of a power so vast and grand
It could bring the world to woe

Steal, Kill, Destroy
I plunder and abuse
Steal, Kill, Destroy
My name is known to all
Their lives I will misuse

Still some refused to believe
That such an evil could be real
It was but a simple tale
Until the horror was revealed

The beast now walks the earth
With outstretched angel’s wings
Taking lives and taking souls
With a hideous voice he sings
I have come to steal, kill, and destroy

Long ago, it was buried deep
They all hoped it would be forgotten
In the foulest pits beneath
In the festering slime of oblivion
Lord of sickness and bile
King of loathsome demons vile
Eyes of red and breath of fire
Scales of black and aura dire
Spreading wings it takes to flight
As black clouds choke the light

Many in the population flee
And many fall upon bended knee
And all those who try to fight
Will fall in death this night

Steal, Kill, Destroy
I plunder and abuse
Steal, Kill, Destroy
My name is known to all
Their lives I will misuse

A heartless cutter of flesh, a prodigy of pain
He the father of unending lies
A plot to steal your breath again
And for his effort, no one knows
Just who he’ll take away
The crying, the bleeding, the ones who cannot take
The prospect of tomorrow, a future they can’t escape
And once again they’re led into the cage to wait

Archaic wounds leave us wanting
Another life, another calling
Archaic wounds never healing
Forgotten dreams, forever bleeding
Bleeding out

Who will be the first to realize the end is here
And who will be the first to drown themselves out of pure fear
Or will you stay and place the noose around your neck?
Repeating, defeating, a haunting anxiety
Brooding and concluding, a death cult society
Who is the one who grinds our souls into the dirt?

Archaic wounds leave us wanting
Another life, another calling
Archaic wounds never healing
Forgotten dreams, forever bleeding
Bleeding out

The lying, and the stealing, the ones who took away
The prospect of tomorrow, a future we can’t escape
And once again we’re led into the cage to wait

Archaic wounds leave us wanting
Another life, another calling
Archaic wounds never healing
Forgotten dreams, forever bleeding
Bleeding out
