In a past I've tried to leave behind
What I've seen will always plague my mind
Prisoner and a slave for millennia
Come to stand before the throne of paranoia
In my eyes is a secret you'll never know
A dark contemplation for only me
But I know that you have to put on a show
So shatter my essence and set me free
I will not keep together
My body will not be unbroken
I hold my tongue forever
Long lost truths that remain unspoken
In a land I've tried to tear apart
Like my flesh, a destroyed work of art
Deep into the caverns of hysteria
Down the stairs to a time older than all of us
In your eyes is a world that's all I'll ever know
If you so desire to keep me imprisoned
A pulsating nightmare till you let me go
But here I stand, I'm not what you envisioned
Am I?
I will not keep together
My body will not be unbroken
I hold my tongue forever
Long lost truths that remain unspoken
I know the plan, I've seen the twin
I've walked the land, I've lived in sin
And through the years my legacy
Blossoms into lunacy
I've destroyed lives, I've consumed men
I've broken beasts, I've turned the bend
I'm mad enough to eat you whole
I want your heart, I want your soul
I've challenged gods and devils' spawn
I've lived before the world you're on
Condemn me now and flee the sight
The all-consuming foe of light
The cloud of hate, the sacred night
The sacrament of bloody blight
The purest fire, gargantuan sneer
I am and always will be here
I will not keep together
My body will not be unbroken
I hold my tongue forever
Long lost truths that remain unspoken
I will...
Raise my horns upon the highest castle
Wave my banner from the farthest coast
In the distance I can see you falling down
Ready to bow to me
Spread my plague to all the universe
Burn it all down to ash and brimstone
In the wreckage you will always be
Fed upon by the cloud of hate
