King Of Terrors Lyrics
I awake - without the sun
Encased in walls of steel
Terror so real - it blinds me
Rancid darkness steals my breath
The Pit - on the edge of death
The wells of Hell know not my name
I slip away... into black I fade away
Terrified - to the left and to the right
Spirits of the Damned, iron shadows cast
Hear my desperate cries
Shrieking demon - far and wide
Praying for this breath to be my last
Awake again - paralyzed
I'm shackled to this alter
Sacrificed to their God
'Inch by Inch and Line by Line'
The Blade - descending lost in time
The fiends of Doom they call my name
I slip away... into black I fade away
Terrified - to the left and to the right

Spirits of the Damned, iron shadows cast
Hear my desperate cries
Shrieking demon - far and wide
Praying for this breath to be my last
"The Inquisitorial vengeance
Had been hurried by my two-fold escape,
And there was to be no more dallying
With the King of Terrors..."
[Edgar Allan Poe - The Pit and the Pendulum]
Terrified - to the left and to the right
Hear my desperate cries
Spirits of the Damned, iron shadows cast
Shrieking demon - far and wide
Praying for this breath to be my last
