Like Darkness Rules The Night

A shadow’s been lurking

Deep within the labyrinth of my mind

A whisper of death and decay

Growing in silence

It won’t go away

A spark of insanity

Glowing in the deep

Beckoning me

And though I try to run from it

I know I will end up giving in

(It was) just when I saw

Life fading from dying eyes

That I felt whole and strong

In my miserable life

Killing was the only way

For me to thrive

(And rule like darkness)

And rule like darkness rules the night

I feel so much more alive than

I’ve been before

Now that murder taints my heart

And life seems to have a reason

Now that my story is written in blood

I am the twisted face of hate

Invading your nightmares

The cold incarnation of your deepest fears

A scourge of madness

Killing was the only way

For me to thrive

(And rule like darkness)

Slaying is the only way

To ease my mind

(And rule like darkness)

And rule like darkness rules the night

Isn’t it strange?

When at every minute of every day

You just sit there, hoping to belong, longing to feel alright

Waiting for that especial moment, that milestone

That will turn your existence upside down

And you will become

Everything you’ve ever wanted to be

Killing was the only way

For me to thrive

(And rule like darkness)

Slaying is the only way

To ease my mind

(And rule like darkness)

And rule like darkness rules the night
