Can you feel the shadows rising up from deep below
Cherishing the dark persuasions hiding inside my soul
In the witching hour they come force to claim their prize
Their courage growing every time their will has been denied
Like symbiotic parasites they burrow deep into my flesh
An unwelcome rendez-vous puts my resistance to the test
Beware the scavengers who prey
On our impending doom
Don't the carrion escape
Scream the vultures on the lose
Nothing and no one in my way
Can hold me back against my will
No matter who I have to face
I cannot afford to fail
Violent shivers dancing slowly up and down my spine
Intimating a dark alliance way beyond divine
Bony fingers sharp as needles scrape along my skin
Reminding me that Satan's kiss is promise laced with sin
Don't believe all their lies you can find the truth if you try
Wake up and open up your eyes your hunger left you blind
Like symbiotic parasites they burrow deep into my flesh
An unwelcome rendez-vous puts my resistance to the test
Beware the scavengers who prey
On our impending doom
Don't the carrion escape
Scream the vultures on the lose
Nothing and no one in my way
Can hold me back against my will
No matter who I have to face
I cannot afford to fail
