A twisted state of mind, torn between two worlds

 One of which the new me hates and the one that's coming true

 The power is unleashed, they perish at my gaze

 But am I really in control or am I just a slave

 

I called upon this god to deliver unto me

 To grant what I desire he brought me to my knees

 He turned his back on me and filled me with his lies

 Ask and I received damnation was the price

 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/iced_earth/slave_to_the_dark.html ]

 I signed my name in blood, didn't read the fine prints

 Now I'm just a puppet god for the devils own descent

 Bound and shackled here forever damned a slave

 Fallen bloody tears can't wash the pain away

 

Chorus:

 All at once it's clear to me

 Damnation and destiny

 A slave to darkness shall I be

 Damnation and destiny

 

And so I must repent or will I be destroyed

 Will the one that lives in me release me from this lie

 And will the wrath of god have mercy on my soul

 Or humilate me, desecrate me, like his only son

 

Chorus
