Lyrics
|
Creature
|
All that I know, all I remember
|
|
Ripped by the knife I am torn from my sleep
|
|
There were no dreams, no tortured memories
|
|
Only a silence eternal and blissfully deep
|
|
|
|
Am I alive or in purgatory, am I insane?
|
|
What is this animal gnawing inside of my brain?
|
|
|
|
What do they fear? Why am I hunted?
|
|
Who is this stranger inside of my skin?
|
|
Pocken and scarred, charred like an ember
|
|
Am I condemned though I cannot remember my sin?
|
|
|
|
What have I done to deserve such a sentence in hell?
|
|
Born as a demon, a ghoul from a nightmare
|
|
Yet one who still suffers and scars like a human as well
|
|
|
|
Now here I stand
|
|
Half of a man
|
|
Wondering why I draw breath
|
|
I'm here in the waking nightmare
|
|
And every moment tastes of death!
|
|
|
Ensemble
|
You're a beast to be feared
|
|
Do not dare to draw near
|
|
You're an object of shame
|
|
Without soul or a name
|
|
Nothing that you can do
|
|
Will disguise what is true
|
|
God has damned you at birth
|
|
And by heaven will track you and haunt you and banish your soul from this earth
|
|
|
Creature
|
Lost and alone
|
|
Colder than stone
|
|
Knowing so deep in my breast
|
|
That here in the waking nightmare
|
|
And what of a hell awaits there
|
|
Yes, here in the waking nightmare
|
|
All I'll ever find is fear
|
|
And all I'll ever hear
|
|
Are the screams of terror and scorn
|
|
While every moment tastes of death!
|
