Iced Earth Slave To The Dark Lyrics

Slave To The Dark Lyrics

A twisted state of mind, torn between two worlds 
One of which the new me hates and the one that`s coming true 
The power is unleashed, they perish at my gaze 
But am I really in control or am I just a slave 
 
I called upon this god to deliver unto me 
To grant what I desire he brought me to my knees 
He turned his back on me and filled me with his lies 
Ask and I received damnation was the price 
 
I signed my name in blood, didn`t read the fine print 
Now I`m just a puppet god for the devils own descent 
Bound and shackled here forever damned a slave 
Fallen bloody tears can`t wash the pain away 
 
Chorus 
All at once it`s clear to me 
Damnation and destiny 
A slave to darkness shall I be 
Damnation and destiny 
 
And so I must repent or will I be destroyed 
Will the one that lives in me release me from this lie 
And will the wrath of god have mercy on my soul 
Or humilate me, desecrate me, like his only son 
 
Repeat Chorus
