A fye unto the world
As the prophecy begins
This realm will soon unfurl
Flood the lands with sin
Arise, arise, arise, arise (It has been foretold)
Arise, arise, arise arise
Since the days of old
Arise, arise, arise, arise (The end is near)
Arise, arise, arise, arise
Incite panic and fear
Death and destruction leave it in your wake
Burn it all the way down
Brimstone and fire will replace all they cherish now
Horrid monstrosities will roam the land
Committing unholy atrocities
An army of the damned
Arise, arise, arise, arise (It has been foretold)
Arise, arise, arise, arise
Since the days of old
Arise, arise, arise, arise (The end is near)
Arise, arise, arise, arise
Incite panic and fear
Incite panic and fear
The time has come
A millennia has passed
Look at what they’ve become
This day will be their last
Leave none alive
Drag them down below
Try to run and hide
But there is nowhere left to go
Arise, arise, arise, arise (It has been foretold)
Arise, arise, arise, arise
Since the days of old
Arise, arise, arise, arise (The end is near)
Arise, arise, arise, arise
Incite panic and fear
Arise, arise, arise, arise
Arise, arise, arise, arise
Arise, arise, arise, arise
Arise
Arise
Arise
My fleeting desire
The rising wish to expire
The day grows tired and long
I’m sinking into decadence
And excuse my arrogance
But I feel like I’m right where I belong
These ghosts of my past
Can see through my mask
They put me here in this decrepit place
Enduring the fire
With a thunderous choir
There’s nothing that’s left of my face
These weights are crushing me
And I’m trying to break free
And I feel I’m slipping to the void
One foot out the door
And the other I’m not sure
Can’t separate the music from the noise
Disillusion
Constant Confusion
My heart can’t escape the steel Fear built inside
Life fading from my eyes
I no longer can tell what’s real
What is real
What is real?
Inferno consume me
The world sees right through me These wounds won't heal
Tell me what is real
Disappointing everyone
Realizing what I’ve become
I’ve broken my armor and shield
Someone tell me what is real
Disappointing everyone
Realizing what I’ve become
I’ve broken my armor and shield
Someone tell me what is real
I no longer live in denial
It is time for my exile
You’ll never know how I feel Because I now know
What is real
Descent, descent
Downwards is where I spiral
Descent, descent
Downwards is where I stand on trial
It burns, it burns
My skin starts to blister and boil
It burns, it burns
I meet The Dark One who’s so royal
As the fires rise
I lose what’s left of my humanity
What is to become of me?
I scream
I cry
As I fall further and further
I reside
In this nightmare forever
Descent, descent
Into unending madness
Descent, descent
Suffer unimaginable sadness
He’s here, he’s here
The lord of all unholy
He’s here, he’s here
I do as he bids me
Demons claw
They scrape and gouge at my skin
My bones
For my sins I atone
All hope is gone
Begin my endless torture
I reside
In this nightmare forever
Forever
Forever
In this nightmare forever
I love when you writhe
You have such sorrow and pain
And how did you survive
Living your life with such failure and shame?
Come and tell me
I’ll be your confessional
I’ll make you a deal
You seem like a professional
Let’s engage in conversation
Go on and lend me your ears
Give in to that sweet temptation
Let me wipe away all those worries and fears
Come and tell me
I’ll be your confessional
I’ll make you a deal
You seem like a professional
You took your life, go on and take some more
I gave you an out, now walk through that door
Imbued with power, feel it in your veins
With your might, Hell will rise again
Reign, smoke, and fire, cause them pain
For you are death, it’s yours to claim
And when you’re done, when there’s nothing left
You’ll sit on your throne, and have your rest
I’m so done with their festering lives
Rip it away it’s not theirs it’s mine
Let me feast on their wretched souls
Bring them down where I have control
Come and tell me
I’ll be your confessional
I’ll make you a deal
You seem like a professional
So, we got a deal?
It’s sundown
As the shadows rise, and the day comes to end
That’s when he rides to commit his sins
Rage in his heart, hate in his soul
The Outlaw’s hand will take its toll
Strapped to his side, he bares fear and death
And like a plague to the land, there’s nothing left
So recite your prayers, seek shelter inside
When The Outlaw calls, it’s killin’ time
He calls
You fall
It’s time
To die
You’re in The Outlaw’s path
You’ll endure his wrath
Silence hits the town, so vibrant before
When you hear him knock, death is at your door
Time to pay for your sins, ‘cause you done him wrong
He’ll drag you to Hell, right where you belong
There is no escape, you’ll meet your demise
Scream all you want, no one’s gonna hear your cries
He’s claimed another soul, the town is safe for now
But you’re never free, The Outlaw’s on the prowl
He calls
You fall
It’s time
To die
You’re in The Outlaw’s path
You’ll endure his wrath
The Outlaw has dragged another soul to Hell
And has reduced down his sinful debt
By the time he’s ravaged this small town
There will be nothing left
Until there’s nothing left
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Well I’m a long way from home
And you know I’m too far gone
When I, I met my demise
I only thought of you and your eyes
And holding your hand in mine
I wish things had gone differently
Walking this world with you beside me
And I wish we had more time
But this world has made me so unkind
It kept me away from you so divine
Well I’m cursed, I’m cursed
I should have always put you first
But I’m cursed, I’m cursed
I’ll never be able to quench this thirst
I’ve been shot and stabbed, I’m burned alive
The thing that hurts the worst
Is that I’m not with my love, and for that
I’m cursed
I dream of having you by my side
Together we’d take on this life
But now, well I’m paying for my crimes
Still my love for you will never die
Forever and always till the ends of time
Well I’m cursed, I’m cursed
I should have always put you first
But I’m cursed, I’m cursed
I’ll never be able to quench this thirst
I’ve been shot and stabbed, I’m burned alive
The thing that hurts the worst
Is that I’m not with my love, and for that
I’m cursed
Oh God I need you
You know I’ve died for you
No matter what I do
You know I’ve got you
Well I’m cursed, I’m cursed
I should have always put you first
But I’m cursed, I’m cursed
I’ll never be able to quench this thirst
I’ve been shot and stabbed, I’m burned alive
The thing that hurts the worst
Is that I’m not with my love, and for that
I’m cursed
Disciple no more
A slave reborn
Prophecy’s undone
The end’s begun
Some advice I’ll impart
My revenge is art
Although my soul has been ripped apart You forgot my heart
I faced the fire before
And it’s time to do it once more
When the flames rise high
The end is nigh
I’m coming for your crown
You will not win this showdown
A decision has been made
That’ll send me to my grave
But before I expire
I’ll embrace the fire
Time to face that fire
When the flames rise high
The end is nigh
I’m coming for your crown
You will not win this showdown
Win this showdown
And so it’s done
I’ve righted all my wrongs
Though I swore to never return God knows I’ve been burned Tears in my eyes
Lament in my cries
This will be my last goodbye
Now it’s time to die
To die
To die
To die
To die
I learned long ago
As above…
So below
Heresy, the heretic lies
He calls
Bitten the forbidden fruit
He falls
Awaiting certain expiration
Forfeit your life eternal damnation
Pride, pride, envious pride
Your downfall
Wretch, wretch, inferior wretch
You shall crawl
Awaiting certain expiration
Forfeit your life eternal damnation
Grasping so tight onto the blood soaked knife Destined to end it all that faithful night
Breaking and crawling and scraping through life
All is for naught I collect on my price
This will not be my undoing
I
Am
Evil
Incarnate
I saw the fire, I’ve felt the flame (In this cell, in this cell)
No one is left and I’m to blame (In this cell, in this cell)
This place of despair I call my home (Here in Hell, here in Hell)
I shall sit upon my throne (Here in Hell, here in Hell)
Hate and rage
Is all I know
I’m unchained
With nowhere to go
They’ll come to me like a lamb to the slaughter
Cleanse yourself in the unholy water
Deprive your life
From the divine
Engulf your soul
In flame and woe
I’ve become
The Dark One
Endless power through my veins (In this cell, in this cell)
Everlasting is my reign (In this cell, in this cell)
Cut off those from on high (Here in Hell, here in Hell)
You’ll come to me when you die (Here in Hell, here in Hell)
Crawl to me
Through the mud
You will be
Soaked in blood
They’ll come to me like a lamb to the slaughter Cleanse yourself in the unholy water
Deprive your life
From the divine
Engulf your soul
In flame and woe
I fill the night with unrelenting horror
Turning your truths to lies, dismay, and disorder
Deprive your life
From the divine
Engulf your soul
In flame and woe
I’ve become
The Dark One
I’ve become
The Dark One
Man to immortal
Reaper of souls
From the beginning
The story goes
As above
So below
