The Citadel

In your life I see
Pain and misery
That only shows to me
But I can't even look at your face
And hateful is my way
If ever you betray
There'll be no help from me
And now surely death knows your name
You live to sell that lie
The one that I won't buy
But I can't even look at your face
Alone you waste away in decadent decay there'll be no help from me
And now you know my name
I'm the king of pain
So far have you fell
From my citadel
And now you know my name
I'm the king of pain
Drawing from your endless well
High in my Citadel
Exhiled to the wind
Your life you can't defend
The pain will never end
But I can't even look at your face
The dust now reaching dawn
The light you had is gone
But you shall not move on
The light destroying all of your lies
The garden of your life
Empty and filled with blight
But there'll be no respite
The darkness now consuming your soul
And now you know my name
I'm the king of pain
So far have you fell
From my citadel
And now you know my name
I'm the king of pain
Drawing from your endless well
High in my Citadel
And you are in hell
My light prevails
It goes on until the end
On your judgement day
You'll fade away
Your life lost
Never to betray
(And you'll all just fade away)
