They are the ghosts of innocence That have awoken from my dreams Welcome to your nightmare Say good-bye to everything All your past obscenities They have determined where I stand Echoing cries, in the time that it began Hear me now Feel my plea There is no more time for apologies Never let emotions Take hold of me Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side Death is an old friend of mine You can't escape your judgment I hear them calling out your name Do not beg for mercy now You never showed any to them Embrace your final punishment There's not a soul to hear you scream I have to thank you For letting out the animal in me Hear me now Feel my plea There is no more time for apologies Never let emotions Take hold of me Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side Death is an old friend of mine The blood became alive When I was trapped inside And I can feel the dark passenger coming My mother's blood and mine Uniquely intertwined Help me father put your memory from my mind My hunger to destroy When I was just a boy It pulled me deeper into something That I now enjoy The ritual begins Evil will meet its end In your destruction I will finally feel whole again There is no more time for apologies Never let emotions Take hold of me Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side Death is an old friend of mine I have become your nightmare Say goodbye to everything
