The deal was rigged
There's darkness in my soul I want to die again An empty soul shrouded in darkness Alone and confused what am I? Images flash memories jaded He took my life God damn his lies Fight spawn of the damned, bring down the heavens Smash in the gates, burn 'em down You must accept the fate that you've chosen You will obey your destiny I cheated myself for love Love unconditional Now just to see her face I've lost it all I know there's goodness in me Though I'm not the same I will defy the master I will refuse to be his slave No, I was betrayed I can't accept this My future's unclear, it's a lie I'll follow my heart stand and be counted The curse will lift I will survive I cheated myself for love Love unconditional Now just to see her face I've lost it all 02. I Died For You Music & lyrics by Schaffer
I can't believe this now
This isn't what I planned I lived and died and now I just can't understand With all the love I feel I could never leave her No matter what the cost My soul's the price to see her Oh how I love you The pain won't go away Oh when I need you You're always so far away I cry for you Leaving myself to blame I died for you I gave up everything The pain was just too much When I finally saw her She's happy and in love In love with my best friend What makes it hurt so bad Is that I love them both And they will never know For love I sold my soul Oh how I love you The pain won't go away Oh when I need you You're always so far away I cry for you Leaving myself to blame I died for you I gave up everything 03. Violate Music & lyrics by Schaffer
Enter now the fiendish one
Twisted little man Vile wretch disgusting mess Perverted little man Born of hell and in disease Hate festers in his veins Demonic clown and shapeshifter Little man gone insane Enter now Enter now And violate I'll beat you with your spinal cord Split your skull in two I'll feast on your intestines There's nothing I can't do I'll rip your heart out of your chest Watch it beat as you cry I revel in your agony I violate and make you die Enter now Enter now And violate 04. The Hunter Music & lyrics by Schaffer
A force of light an angel
Sent through time to destroy Avenging the dark ones Descending angelic force Heaven sent the hunter Her mission to crucify Slay the hellspawn His offspring demonic force Descending from heaven The angel sworn to bring him down The hunter the thunder The wrath of heavens comin' down She swore an oath, an allegiance Armageddon is in sight To be the thorn in the devils back To make him weak, the final fight Descending from heaven The angel sworn to bring him down The hunter the thunder The wrath of heavens comin' down 05. The Last Laugh Music & lyrics by Schaffer
My personal quest is to make your life hell
Yes dear friend listen up well The power I've given I can take as well I am your father destroyer of the light I've taken your soul and have given you life You are the damned condemned by my hand My son creature of the night In your hour of darkness You warm my soul And deep in you as I make my hole God won't save you Your souls been sold I am your father destroyer of the light I've taken your soul and have given you life You are the damned condemned by my hand My son creature of the night Extending, now you rise Tormented, soul of fire Deception, in my eyes Your life, your life is mine My new born son burn now with anger I command and you must follow Fly now and do battle The heavens fall, mankinds disaster In your hour of darkness You warm my soul God won't save you Your souls been sold I am your father destroyer of the light I've taken your soul and have given you life You are the damned condemned by my hand My son creature of the night Extending, now you rise Tormented, soul of fire Deception, in my eyes Your life, your life is mine 06. Depths Of Hell Music by Schaffer, Shawver Lyrics by Simmons
Angels coming from above
Take the essence of his love Challengers call him from all around Demons coming from the ground Battles won and nothing gained Feel the pain Feel the shock From the depths of hell Darkness dwelling in his soul True damnation no control Shattered pieces of his past Broken dreams among the dead When the smoke clears he will arise Feel the pain Feel the shock From the depths of hell 07. Vengeance Is Mine Music by Schaffer, Shawver Lyrics by Barlow
Hear now this story of the man that should not be
A ghoul of blackened torment, sullen atrocity A kindred soul to the devils own, malignance personified Cast from his fire he molests the purest light Profaner to humanity menaced by flesh and bone Screams of the unknown youth to him the sweetest tone Undying in his will to kill his bloodlust is profound For the blood of the lamb I've got to bring him down [Chorus] For all the young lives you have slain Fear now you shall obtain Vengeance is mine For every young one that has died Your psychopathic genocide Vengeance is mine I shall do what the law won't do, I can make the sacrifice In the names of these bodies which held such precious life Mine is not to ask forgiveness this deed I've proudly done Without god without the devil this time I have won 08. Scarred Music by Schaffer, Shawver Lyrics by Schaffer
Darkness calls down to me
Sweat pours from my body like rain Growing wiser with each touch A pawn in lucifers game, am I? It attacks me in the black abyss The entity formless yet full of rage The mark of the beast my body Scarring me for eternal life I brought this all upon myself Sold my soul to change my life It's up to me and no one else The beast in me can't control my life I brought this all upon myself Sold my soul to change my life It's up to me and no one else The beast in me can't control me And so it's begun, this is the end of me The seed was sewn now it's growing inside My fate in control, not mine He lied I brought this all upon myself Sold my soul to change my life It's up to me and no one else The beast in me can't control my life I brought this all upon myself Sold my soul to change my life It's up to me and no one else The beast in me won't control me 09. Slave To The Dark Music & lyrics by Schaffer
A twisted state of mind, torn between two worlds
One of which the new me hates and the one that's coming true The power is unleashed, they perish at my gaze But am I really in control or am I just a slave I called upon this god to deliver unto me To grant what I desire he brought me to my knees He turned his back on me and filled me with his lies Ask and I received damnation was the price I signed my name in blood, didn't read the fine prints Now I'm just a puppet god for the devils own descent Bound and shackled here forever damned a slave Fallen bloody tears can't wash the pain away All at once it's clear to me Damnation and destiny A slave to darkness shall I be Damnation and destiny And so I must repent or will I be destroyed Will the one that lives in me release me from this lie And will the wrath of god have mercy on my soul Or humilate me, desecrate me, like his only son All at once it's clear to me Damnation and destiny A slave to darkness shall I be Damnation and destiny 10. A Question Of Heaven Music & lyrics by Schaffer
The time is close now, the end is near
My walk through the valley, trails of fear I feel empty, my penance overdue, I guess it's too late now to be with you I'm extremely frightened of what will surely be I sold myself, the death of me I know you can't forgive me I know I'm on my own, I've betrayed you I walk alone What exactly is the meaning of this Just pawns in your twisted game Severe pain for the lie I'm livin' For a love I never could betray [Bridge] Question me not say the lord unto thee You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny Denied of this life is what you are to be You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny Lord I pound my fists at you Won't you just let me die Would I not suffer enough No inner peace no after life [Repeat Bridge] I did what I thought was right All for the love of my life I know it's sad but true Something is very wrong Condemned to suffer so long For a love so true The question that lies within Is so hard to understand It still tears at me And in my dying breath My heart holds no regrets I wouldn't change a thing My spirit begins to rise to the heavenly skies Just to be shunned away by you Now all I want is to die, no streets of gold in the sky And I wash my hands of you [Bridge] Rising to the heaven's light Just to plead for death Just to be denied Rising to the heaven's light Just to plead for death Just to be denied Ooohhh, I know you can't forgive me I know I'm on my own I know that I've betrayed you You know I walk alone You know I walk alone I walk, I walk the trail of fear I pound my fists at you I'm shunned away by you I wash my hands of you Why won't you let me die Why won't you let me die Why won't you let me die |
