Echoing footsteps call to me Deep in my fortress of stone Through the dark, I smell terror Behind the bravado Some would call me lost I am where I choose to be I know each mossy corridor This labyrinth is my domain Those who seek a monster Are sure to find a beast Lurking inside the maze Deformed and depraved Despair Devour the brave and the foolish Wickedness Beats in the breast of the paladin Dried blood upon the bricks Tread the path of self-destruction Bring me your heart filled with hate Look deep into the mirror So-called hero Recognize the horns are your own Bloodlust transformed Parody of righteousness Crusader of disgust Disturber of my peace What glory do you hope to gain? Misguided quest for confrontation Mercenary scum Step over the clattering bones Of those who’ve tried before In these lightless depths I hold court Those who seek a monster Are sure to find a beast Lurking inside the maze Deformed and depraved Despair Devour the brave and the foolish Wickedness Beats in the breast of the paladin Dried blood upon the bricks Tread the path of self-destruction Bring me your heart filled with hate Look deep into the mirror So-called hero Recognize the horns are your own Bloodlust transformed Parody of righteousness Crusader of disgust I turn my eyes away From those who've forced my hand Another grim memorial Bone chips and cracked enamel Ground into the stones Each monument a failure to find a middle way Dried blood upon the bricks Tread the path of self-destruction Bring to me a heart filled with hate Look deep into the mirror So-called hero Reflect upon your thirst for martyrdom Beg my help to ease your burden Purge your veins of passion’s blood
