Iced Earth - Damien Lyrics
So the beast resides in meDeep down I always knewI never really did fit inSo diverse from all of youLet him who comprehendsKnow the number of the beastIt's a number of a manA number just for meAs the boy becomes a manFather's minions pave the waySet in motion now, Armageddon,Final conflict, end of daysI embrace the hounds of hellAnd the power they obligeFor the task that lies aheadThe Nazarene I'll crucifyThey'll see the raptures of our kingdomThey'll see the truth to mankindI'll show what hell truly isThe monotony of their lives(Chorus)When the Jews return to ZionAnd a comet fills the skyThe Holy Roman Empire risesAnd you and I must dieFrom the eternal sea he risesCreating armies on either shoreTurning man against his brotherTill man exists no more(interlude)Nazarene, what can you offer?Since the hour you vomitted forth from the gaping womb of a womanyou have done nothing but drown men's soaring desiresin a delusion of sick sanctimonious immoralityI was conceived of a jackalyour pain on the cross was but a splinter,compared to the agony of my fatherI will drive deeper the thorns into your rancid carcassyou're a profaner of IsisCursed Nazarene, I will avenge thy torment(Bridge)Now Disciples of the WatchSee your Prince of Darkness riseThrough famine and destructionThe Four Horsemen at my sideI demand a victory, I demand a sacrificeOr spend all eternityIn the flaccid gut of Christ!
