[Intro — dark, eerie, distant vocals]
Way down deep in the dungeon
Far away from the world
Darkness is all I see
And the creeping fear unfolds
Life is fading away
No light from the day
Every shadow knows my name
And nothing feels the same
[Verse 1]
Here I stand
With my weapons drawn
Striking down everything
And everyone in my way
Am I the good one?
Am I the bad one?
Who’s really holding the gun?
Who knows what I’ve become?
Is this destiny?
Or is this fate?
When everything I am
Is held in someone else’s hands
These bands around my hands
Pull tighter every day
But one by one they’re breaking
One by one they fall away
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a glowing light inside my heart
But it’s being ripped apart
Fading… fading away
Pieces of time
Lost somewhere behind
Something has to change
Something has to be done
[Chorus]
Here I stand
With my weapons drawn
Striking down everything
And everyone in my way
Am I the good one?
Am I the bad one?
Who’s really holding the gun?
Who knows what I’ve become?
My destiny
Or my fate
Held inside somebody else’s hands
These chains around my hands
Won’t hold me another day
Fall away…
Fall away…
FALL AWAY!
[Breakdown — whispered]
Crawl…
Crawl…
Crawl…
Crawl…
[Male Voice / Dungeon Chant]
COME ON, CRAWLERS — LET’S GO!
HERE COMES YOUR FATE!
Whoa-oh-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh!
Crawl…
Crawl…
Crawl…
COME ON, CRAWLERS — LET’S GO!
YOUR DESTINY AWAITS!
Whoa-oh-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh!
[Bridge — eerie female vocal]
Down another level
Deeper than before
Blood upon the pathway
Footsteps at the door
Every floor keeps watching
Every eye can see
They can own the dungeon…
BUT THEY DON’T OWN ME
[Heavy Breakdown]
CRAWL!
CRAWL!
CRAWL!
CRAWL!
Come on, crawlers — LET’S GO!
[Final Chorus]
Here I stand
With my weapons drawn
Striking down everything
And everyone in my way
Am I the good one?
Am I the bad one?
Who’s really holding the gun?
Who knows what I’ve become?
Is this destiny?
Is this fate?
Or just another game
Someone else has made?
My life was held
Inside somebody else’s hands
But these chains around my hands
Are breaking where I stand
Fall away…
Fall away…
FALL AWAY!
[Outro — whispered / fading]
Crawl…
Crawl…
Crawl…
Deeper we go…
Crawl…
Crawl…
Welcome to the next floor.
