Symphony X - King Of Terrors Lyrics
I awake - without the sunencased in walls of steelterror so real - it blinds meRancid darkness steals my breathThe Pit - on the edge of deathThe wells of Hell know not my nameI slip away...into black I fade awayTerrified - to the left and to the rightSpirits of the Damned, iron shadows castHear my desperate criesShrieking demon - far and widepraying for this breath to be my lastAwake again - paralyzedI'm shackled to this altersacrificed to their God'Inch by Inch and Line by Line'The Blade - descending lost in timeThe fiends of Doom they call my nameI slip away... into black I fade awayTerrified - to the left and to the rightSpirits of the Damned, iron shadows castHear my desperate criesShrieking demon - far and widepraying for this breath to be my last"The Inquisitorial vengeancehad been hurried by my two-fold escape,and there was to be no more dallyingwith the King of Terrors..."[Edgar Allan Poe - The Pit and the Pendulum]Terrified - to the left and to the rightSpirits of the Damned, iron shadows castHear my desperate criesShrieking demon - far and widepraying for this breath to be my last
