Damien lyrics

Artist  : Iced Earth 
Song : Damien
 


So the beast resides in me
Deep down I always
knew
I never really did fit in
So diverse
from all of you
Let him who
comprehends
Know the number of the
beast
It's a number of a man
A number just
for me

As the boy becomes a
man
Father's minions pave the way
Set in
motion now, Armageddon,
Final conflict, end of
days

I embrace the hounds of hell
And
the power they oblige
For the task that lies
ahead
The Nazarene I'll crucify
They'll see
the raptures of our kingdom
They'll see the
truth to mankind
I'll show what hell truly
is
The monotony of their
lives

(Chorus)
When the Jews return to
Zion
And a comet fills the sky
The Holy
Roman Empire rises
And you and I must
die
From the eternal sea he rises
Creating
armies on either shore
Turning man against his
brother
Till man exists no
more

(Bridge)
Now Disciples of the
Watch
See your Prince of Darkness
rise
Through famine and destruction
The
Four Horsemen at my side
I demand a victory, I
demand a sacrifice
Or spend all eternity
In
the flaccid gut of Christ!
