Symphony X - King Of Terrors lyrics

rate me

"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

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

Spirit 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

Spirit of the Damned, iron shadows cast

Hear my desperate cries

Shrieking demon - far and wide

praying for this breath to be my last

Terrified - to the left and to the right

Spirit of the Damned, iron shadows cast

Hear my desperate cries

Shrieking demon - far and wide

praying for this breath to be my last
