King of Terrors Lyrics by Symphony X

The Odyssey

2002

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I awake
Without the sun encased in walls of steel
Terror so real, it blinds me, blinds me
Rancid darkness steals my breath
The Pit
On the edge of death
The wells of Hell know not my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I slip away
Into black I fade away
[Chorus]
Terrified
To the left and to the right
Spirits of the Damned
Iron shadows cast
Hear my desperate cry
Shrieking demon, far and wide
Praying for this breath to be my
Last
[Verse 2]
Awake again
Paralyzed, I'm shackled to this altar
Sacrificed, to their God, their God
Inch by inch and line by line
The Blade, descending lost in time
The fiends of Doom they call my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I slip away
Into black I fade away
[Chorus]
Terrified
To the left and to the right
Spirits of the Damned
Iron shadows cast
Hear my desperate cry
Shrieking demon, far and wide
Praying for this breath to be my last
[Bridge]
The Inquisitorial vengeance
Had been hurried by my two-fold escape
And there was to be no more dallying
With the King of Terrors
[Instrumental Break/Solos]
[Chorus]
Terrified
To the left and to the right
Spirits of the Damned
Iron shadows cast
Hear my desperate cry
Shrieking demon, far and wide
Praying for this breath to be my
Last
