Iced Earth Slave To The Darkness Lyrics

Slave To The Darkness 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
