Slowly, quietly, the night turns into day As I look towards the heavens in dismay Clasping my hands, teary-eyed, I began to pray Forgive me lord for I am but a worthless soul I’m filled with their blood, their sweat, their spit!” I was once young, my rage was extreme I stood in my circle and laughed amidst their screams Forgive me lord for I am but a lost soul Drifting amongst demons, my demons, their eyes ever so cold All the lives I have wasted, the world once laid at my feet Strongest of them all! I snatched, I ripped, never faced defeat! Until now… Forgive me lord as I bow, I am weak I silenced so many and now I am unable to speak But like an unexpected storm she came A soul that tamed my beast I saw the light and for the first time, I had found peace She held my arm, looked into my eyes and nodded My blade crashed against stone She vowed that I would never be alone, never be apart She washed away the blackness that once engulfed my heart Forgive me lord, why did my storm have to die? For the souls that I have taken, you should have chosen me My eyes are now open for love has tamed this slayer Take heed lost souls and hear this old sinner’s prayer.

A Sinner's Prayer
Slowly, quietly, the night turns into day As I look towards the heavens in dismay Clasping my hands, teary-eyed, I began to pray Forgive me lord for I am but a worthless soul I’m filled with their blood, their sweat, their spit!” I was once young, my rage was extreme I stood in my circle and laughed amidst their screams Forgive me lord for I am but a lost soul Drifting amongst demons, my demons, their eyes ever so cold All the lives I have wasted, the world once laid at my feet Strongest of them all! I snatched, I ripped, never faced defeat! Until now… Forgive me lord as I bow, I am weak I silenced so many and now I am unable to speak But like an unexpected storm she came A soul that tamed my beast I saw the light and for the first time, I had found peace She held my arm, looked into my eyes and nodded My blade crashed against stone She vowed that I would never be alone, never be apart She washed away the blackness that once engulfed my heart Forgive me lord, why did my storm have to die? For the souls that I have taken, you should have chosen me My eyes are now open for love has tamed this slayer Take heed lost souls and hear this old sinner’s prayer.
