I am just another man
And you, you are just the same
I am just another man
I can still feel pain
These thoughts wont go away
Existing on the mortal plane
Sometimes I wonder if Im sane
Why must I be the same?
As countless others
Why cant I be more?
What purpose am I living for?
Why cant I be destined for glory?
Destined for fame
Just another character in the story
All just the same
Differences do not exist in my life
Why must I endure all this strife?
Why must I think this way?
Cant I be happy?
With being the same
Whatever happened to the midnight sun?
That shone in the darkest hour of night
Whatever happened to the midnight sun?
That redeemed me in the light
A shining beacon in an hour of darkness
Protecting me
From the denizens that I have seen
Clawing their way to the mortal world
The heavens refuse to help
I must face them by myself
Without the sun that once paved a way to redemption
Without the sun that once delivered me from aggression
But now the path is lost
Midnight has swallowed it whole
Creatures of untold measure
Force me to run
But always ending up
At a dead end
Forcing me into a corner
Midnight sun come help me
Midnig
I have been cast down
From the home that I once knew
These so called sins
But I did what I had to do
As I am falling from the heavens
My wings are burning away
I fall through the earth
And reach the realm
Where the souls of evil men reside
He vowed revenge
As the unholy stench
Of evil and rotting flesh
Entered his body, twisting it
Into an image of hell itself
His teeth now fangs
His halo now horns
His purity now gone
He is Satan
Lucifer himself
And he is the dark desire of all mankind
Underneath it all
But ready to erupt
Evil is unstoppable
Turns humans corruptible
And then their downfall
Shall be complete
So as I
I walked the path less taken
A mistake from the beginning
My life is now forsaken
The world has started spinning
Hellfire erupted from the dead and broken ground
Is this deception? I can no longer hear a sound
My vision taken from me, I can no longer see
I can only feel fear
I can only feel death
I can only feel his cold breath
Behind my ears he whispers
Abandon your soul and I shall deliver
You a life of power and wealth
Or else you shall forfeit your life
And escape the realm of hell
What should I do?
The devil has come
To claim my soul as one of his own
I fear death
But I should know best
Dont know which path to c
Can I play with madness?
May I dabble with insanity?
Overcome with sadness
An entire new reality
One emotion shifting to another
Turning us against each other
Can I play with madness?
Its the only thing that I have left
Your blood-stained hands
Choking the life out of your fellow man
You see the pain in his eyes
You no longer hear his cries
As his body goes limp
Just a sip of his blood, drives you crazy
Blood lust and madness work together hand in hand
To unleash the demon deep inside
Breaking his chains
And letting him reign
Over your soul
That is just as cold
As the motionless body that lies before ye

The light is gone
And the night prevails
Once again, everything has become dark
Everything has become quite
Nothing to hear but the ravens sighing
Pecking at the dead carrion around me
I lay in the dirt six feet under
The land around me torn asunder
Footsteps approach me
The sound of bone on bone deafens me
All but an inch of life remains in me
I close my eyes, nothing more to see
As I delve deeper into unconsciousness
I hear strange words
I breathe my last breath
Blood courses through my veins one last time
One last memory of my loved ones
He comes from a distant land, a different world
Wearing necklaces of rotting flesh an

Afraid to Shoot Strangers
Another faceless entity I kill
But as I dream their face is clear
Come to torment me as I scream
In my waking hours, I have no fear
In my sleep, I cower from the faces
Of the countless souls Ive taken
It seems I have become
Afraid to shoot strangers
My hands are clammy
My gun is shaking
Their screams affect me
And now I see
Their fear from their own eyes
Staring down the barrel of my gun
I see my trembling figure
What was once a cold blooded killer
It seems I have become
Afraid to shoot strangers
I stare at my gun
In my uncertain palm
Uncertain grip
Uneasy gasps
Is my mind starting to slip?
Do I feel emotion yet a
The cemetery gates are opening
Waiting for your soul
The darkness is too much to take
Ready to swallow you whole
You can feel their teeth
Upon your skin
You begin to scream
From deep within
No one can hear you
No where to run
No one to see you
Your heart is ripped and torn
[Whispered]
The dead have awoken
Can you hear their screams?
Entering your conscious mind
Entering your dreams
The dead have awoken
Can you hear their screams?
Your chest starts to open
Bursting at the seams
The cemetery gates are closing
You soon see your grave
You were born in a long forgotten age
But youre going to die today
Can you feel t
I have stopped breathing
For I have seen the beast
I have tried to run away
But my legs do not respond
I fall down to my knees
Fear slowly overtaking me
Will my life begin to cease?
Death and gore is all I see
For that is what I provide
I am a death dealer
To the wicked, to the pure
I kill the noble and the fools
Preferences I do not have
Neither is a conscience
Despair invades my mind
My soul tearing apart
My heart wrenched from my chest
The rain begins to fall
And puddles soon begin to form
A reflection is all I see
In that puddle, the beast is me
I have become comfortably numb
Down a spiral staircase I keep walking
As if my life resembles that
Always to lower and lower levels I sink
As if my own grave I dig
Shovel in my arms
Needle in my veins
My heart keeps beating, but dying away
My body is stiff, my brain is dead
My blood is no longer red
As if Ive become something else
No longer human, but a monster?
As I question my insanity
I inject the needle once more in my veins
I need more to take these thoughts away
Am I a monster?
Am I a Demon?
Am I the one thats screaming?
Every time I lay my head to sleep
I wander in too deep
And fantasy conquers my mind
I am just another man
And you, you are just the same
I am just another man
I can still feel pain
These thoughts wont go away
Existing on the mortal plane
