If there was a time when I knew peace it is no more

I mocked unholy beasts and tread through long unopened doors

From ancient tomes I read and scoffed at their forgotten tongues

Preformed archaic rites with decadence my only guide

My hubris led me deeper blinded by my disbelief

But lurking in the shadows

A Vile horror bares its teeth

Somewhere along my path I did awake what should have slept forever more

blood poured from the ceiling shadowed figures walked my halls

What have I brought forth?!? This beast can not be put to rest

My delusion manifested these subjects of obsession

Abominations visceral

horrors born of fear

(Chorus 1)

Ten thousand hands clawing at me

Dragging me to the grave

I pray for death

While on my flesh the rats are feasting

But alive I remain

A slave to pains sensation

Tortured victim too their power

Helpless adrift in seas of bile

I am now the plaything of sadistic sleeping gods

Mutilated for their pleasure my screams met by silence pure

All hope is lost no gift of death

The consequence of arrogance

My fate is sealed tormented I remain

Tormented I remain

(Solo Steve)

All hope is lost no gift of death

The consequence of arrogance

My fate is sealed tormented I remain

My hubris led me deeper blinded by my disbelief

But lurking in the shadows

A Vile horror bares its teeth

Somewhere along my path I did awake what should have slept forever more

(Chorus 2)

blood poured from the ceiling shadowed figures walked my halls

What have I brought forth?!? This beast can not be put to rest

Ten thousand hands clawing at me

Dragging me to the grave

I pray for death

While on my flesh the rats are feasting

But alive I remain

A slave to pains sensation
