King Of Terrors — Symphony X

"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
