[Dream:]
|
In the world of my subconscious, a realm of the unknown
|
a vision is carved by the almighty hand
|
The agony of a thousand souls supressed by life itself
|
released unto the lord by his command.
|
My hands are covered with the blood, the blood of his salvation.
|
His spirit will live eternally
|
|
Take his life, by your command.
|
A sacrifice, by your command.
|
|
As I rise from my troubled sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep
|
wondering if he has chosen me to do his work, I speak no blasphemy
|
Do I confess? I am terrified, I cannot run, there is no place to hide
|
I search for help, but there's nobody there for my dream is now a recurring
|
...Nightmare
|
|
Brother of the holy order, I seek your help
|
Understand my plight, help me fight this curse that bestows me
|
My son you must not fight, for this is no cure
|
but a mission you should undertake
|
to free a soul from the grasp of
|
...Satan
|
|
So that night I did dream of mysteries untold
|
In the presence of the heavens was I
|
I could see for myself all the evils of the world
|
in all their morbid glory
|
Men took part in rites to praise the black messiah
|
the beast they call "The Evil One"
|
As voices in my head did tell me of my task
|
To release the soul of my only son
|
|
[Spirit voices:]
|
Take his life, by your command.
|
A sacrifice, by your command.
|
Fill the chalice, cleanse the soul
|
Save him now, in the chapel of salvation
|
[repeat]
|
|
[Possession:]
|
Insanity dwells in the mind of a man who will take the life of his only son
|
Screaming and pounding inside his head as voices whisper... It must be done
|
