I can see behind your facade
even now i know what you intend to feel
your conscience ravaged by guilt
being bathed in blood as flames lick your soul
no way to repent, no way to be saved
not believing how this can be real
time's touch making your flesh wilt
you weep as you pay for playing Judas' role
can't you feel the pain?
prices for actions, pay!
without heading a sound
won't you stay sane?
your soul led astray
judgement is now found
scream for your life
as it drains away
flesh marked by hate
all of your life's passion
is now scarred by the fate you have chosen
souls won't be torn any more
no more cries and tears of fear
bound by hate, you can't leave
time for these eyes to show what they saw
you wonder how could this fate be yours
i could tell you why, suicide rules you here
you can't make your way out, you can't break free
the time has come for you to face your flaws
shackles of fire marking your wrists
searing pain no one could comprehend
sins of the wicked etched into your skin
shouts of fear choke your last breaths
chains of steel binding your fists
no angel here for your defense
oh sweet revenge, there's nothing no one can lend
cry for their pain, your future is set
drown in liquid fire, yet to be born
they were the last of my realm
consumed like a parasite, you drained their life
they'll never see another rising day, nor shall you
prepare to endure what they've felt
left to be devoured, you should've heeded the signs
screaming in misery, watch your candle wick die
lower than dirt, let your soul rot in your corpse
i revel in it all, you'll never taste mercy
you know not of what you see
you fool, none of this is a dream
now way for you to be awake
this is one nightmare that won't END!
Can't you feel sweet pain?
prices for actions pay
without heeding a sound
Won't you stay sane?
your soul led astray
judgement is now found
scream for your life
as it drains away
flesh marked by hate
all of your life's passion
is now scarred by the fate you have chosen!
