SONG:King Of Terrors

I awake - without the sun
encased in walls of steel
terror so real - it blinds me
Rancid darkness steals my breath
the pit - on the edge of death
the wells of hell know not my name
I slip away...into black i fade away
Terrified - to the left and to the right
spirits of the damned, iron shadows cast
hear my desperate cries
shrieking demon - far and wide
praying for this breath to be my last
Awake again - paralyzed
i'm shackled to this alter
sacrificed to their god
'inch by inch and line by line'
the blade - descending lost in time
the fiends of doom they call my name
I slip away... into black i fade away
Terrified - to the left and to the right
spirits of the damned, iron shadows cast
hear my desperate cries
shrieking demon - far and wide
praying for this breath to be my last
"the inquisitorial vengeance
had been hurried by my two-fold escape,
and there was to be no more dallying
with the king of terrors..."ÿ
[edgar allan poe - the pit and the pendulum]
Terrified - to the left and to the right
spirits of the damned, iron shadows cast
hear my desperate cries
shrieking demon - far and wide
praying for this breath to be my last
