It’s Your Time

As I walk through the valley of death,

Giving séance to my brothers ‘cause I’m all that’s left,

God took their souls with a merciless breath,

Now I’m haunted by the echoes of their final steps.

I’ve been cursed since my birth, branded by the flame,

Every scar upon my body got a brother’s name,

Fate carved a path through the dirt and the rain,

Now I carry all the hatred and the guilt and pain.

The sky turned black when the angels cried,

Watched the reaper drag my family to the other side,

Every night I hear ‘em calling from beyond the light,

While the devil keeps whispering, “It’s your time.”

I was destined to walk this earth alone,

Heart made of stone, blood cold as the throne,

Destroying every life that fed the hunger I’d known,

Now I’m king of a graveyard, ruling bones.

Hear the voices in the dark…

Hear the beating of my heart…

Every shadow wears a face…

Every memory leaves a scar…

I WALK THROUGH HELL WITH FIRE IN MY EYES!

(No salvation!)

I HEAR THE DEAD WHEN THEY CRY THROUGH THE NIGHT!

(No escaping!)

The world made a monster,

Now the monster survives,

Buried all my brothers,

But their ghosts stay alive.

I WALK THROUGH HELL WITH FIRE IN MY EYES!

(No salvation!)

I HEAR THE DEAD WHEN THEY CRY THROUGH THE NIGHT!

Heavy is the crown that the damned must wear,

Got demons in my bloodstream and death in the air,

Every bridge I crossed disappeared somewhere,

Now the only thing I trust is despair.

Angels screaming like the gates broke loose,

Demons shaking while I’m lighting the fuse,

The pain turned rage and the rage turned truth,

Now I’m aiming at the heavens with nothing to lose.

They say vengeance never heals,

Maybe that’s true,

But I watched the world take everything I ever knew,

So if judgment’s coming down,

Then I’m coming too,

With a choir full of ghosts singing war through the room.

(Whispered over piano)

“God…

Can you hear me?”

“Why’d you leave me here…

With all these memories?”

(808 Drop)

I DON’T NEED YOUR MERCY!

I DON’T NEED YOUR LIGHT!

I’LL STAND WITH THE FALLEN!

I’LL FIGHT THROUGH THE NIGHT!

I WALK THROUGH HELL WITH FIRE IN MY EYES!

(No salvation!)

I HEAR THE DEAD WHEN THEY CRY THROUGH THE NIGHT!

The world made a monster,

Now the monster survives,

Buried all my brothers,

But their ghosts stay alive.

I WALK THROUGH HELL WITH FIRE IN MY EYES!

(No salvation!)

I HEAR THE DEAD WHEN THEY CRY THROUGH THE NIGHT!

As I walk through the valley of death…

I carry their names with every breath…

And when my time comes…

I’ll see my brothers again…
