Shades Below What is it that lurks inside the common man? Innate evil? Or part of a master plan For one need not peer to deep inside the heart To find a bit of blackness ready to tear apart Your sanity will come with me Far down below, into depths unknown A seed of growing passion for the dark unnatural art Genocide of the innocent, freedom, structure lost Becoming sour with discontent as a stillness fills the air The time has come for fulfillment, to feed on the souls of the damned Growing fear, as I come near I'm stalking you, the punisher of deeds untrue The voice inside my head, it doesn't lie Revealing only those who defy Suffering in the shades below, the world in which you live Discovering a race of terror is what lurks within A dichotomy in principle but a righteous feat no less Extinguish the murderers, those whose veins run cold On the single minded quest to rid the earth of fear At once become the focus of grief and emptiness Deep mortal wounds, combust the tomb A town is razed, completes the darkness of this day Not long for this world, you who terrorize A swift glimmer of steel, and the separation of flesh Vengeance colossal, the ultimate test of faith Left exposed in extremis, my deity seals your fate Reject the will, defrock the feigned A crown of thorns, which wreaks havoc on perverse exploits
