And as i wander thru the dark, the darkness knows my name.
I felt so far apart, the only comfort now is pain, comfort now is pain.
And all these shadows in the night, the conflict and the fight.
To walk between two worlds is driving me insane, driving me insane.
And i think back onto that night, when the lost ones came to me.
Spectres of pure light, here to torment me. Cast down from eternity.
And in their wicked world outside, their judging eyes cut deep.
Longing for the day of my eternal sleep.
Voices from beyond, I can hear them calling.
Whispers from the dawn of time.
Voices from beyond, singing fear to lull me.
Reveal all my sin, in rhyme.
And as i live to bear the mark, the darkness calls my name.
Enticement of the heart, to play this twisted game,
with rules that always change.
The spoils are laid before their feet, still the conquest incomplete.
This merging of two worlds, leaves my soul estranged.
Leaves my soul estranged.
And now i turn and step outside, these walls of bitter pain.
A move that drives the knife, and the blood comes down like rain.
Voices from beyond, I can hear them calling.
Whispers from the dawn of time.
Voices from beyond, singing fear to lull me.
Reveal all my sin, in rhyme.
