Branded, Beaten, Stripped down, bound in shackles
Tortured, Broken, Whipped, screams they echo
You lay there begging for your life
What good does it do?
The fight that is inside of you
Will eventually leave you.
Give into the darkness
Let it take you
You quiver, fighting off insanity
What good will it do you?
Piece by piece, Your mind is slowly stripped away
Let go of the light
Call upon the wicked
Call upon the damned
Call upon the heathen souls that will guide your freedom from man
Rising, Reborn, hatred, rage grows within you
Strengthened, Fearless, vengeful, setting sights on your enemies
You have become a spirit a poltergeist
Executing your will on all men
Nothing can stop the wrath that drives you
Slaughtering all living in sight
Follow the Darkness
Let it guide you
Somewhere beyond the threshold
of life and death
You have become the wicked
You have gained your freedom
Floating in the dark
Finding a peaceful end
Ever winter in this Eden
Gathering spirits
Frozen among the night
Slowly drifting away
There is no time like now
There is no place for you
