Iced Earth - Damien

So the beast resides in me
Deep down I always knew
I never really 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

The jews return to Zion
And a comet fills the sky
The holy Roman Empire rises
And you and I must die
From eternal sea he rises
Creating army;s on either shore
Turn a man against his brother
Till man exist no more.

"Nazarene, what can you offer?
Since the hour you vomited forth
from the gaping whomb of a woman,
you have done nothing but drown mens' soaring desires
in a deluge of sanctimonious morality.
I was conceived of a jackal.
Your pain on the cross was but a splinter
compared with the agony of my father
I will drive deeper the thorns in your racid carcass
Your profaner of Isis.
Cursed Nazarene,
I will avenge thy thornment."

The deciples of the watch
See your Prince of Darkness rise
Liedertext Through famine and destruction
The Four Horsemen at my side
I demand a victory, I demand a sacrifice
Alle Or spend all eternityIn the flaccid gut of Christ!

The jews return to Zion
And a comet fills the sky
The holy Roman Empire rises
And you and I must die
From eternal sea he rises
Creating army;s on either shore
Turn a man against his brother
Till man exist no more.
