Lyrics
Slave To The Dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 print
Now I'm just a puppet God for the devil's 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 humiliate 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
