He who sought to hold the sword of clarity before he was cleansed Trapt in the center of the morphing labyrinth A heart impure lusting for power now Entombed and buried In a sarcophagus of hate, rage, and confusion Eater of fear, the progenitor of demon hoards Deceiver of himself Cyrix еnters knowing the blade hе carries For his form was merely a cage Cast in the fire of hate and fear Beyond the gates of amnesia In a maze of infinite corridors Shifting their shape Carving the flesh of the dead The walls seem to move on their own Out they crawl, the hoards of living dissolution Cryix sees the pain in their eyes so he slays them and leaves them to rest Enter the dark realms That which is in the heavens also lies within the earth Let the light of courage be your lantern A gleaming paradox seated on the throne of worth Phobius lurches forth to assail the light and it's open form In the center of the maze there was the king of fear and pain His only language is to maim Raising the blade of light and truth Freeing the one enslaved from his aeonic curse

Since I was born they have kept me down They have forced me to conform I will tear down Their holy crown in a vengeful thunder storm I loathe their bloody righteous ways It fills me with despise Fuelling flames of violent rage I will be their world's demise Asgard's always been my home But I'm of different blood I will overthrow the throne Deceiver, deceiver of the gods All this rage, and all this hate It burns me deep inside And still it is the only thing keeping me alive Dark ambition within my heart And it's aching to break free The one true nature of my soul The giant lives in me (Kneel) You all shall kneel to me Or death will set you free You all shall kneel to me (Fall) You all shall fall to me Vengeance will be sweet You all shall fall to me Asgard's always been my home But I'm of different blood I will overthrow the throne Deceiver of the gods Asgard's always been my home I'm born of different blood I've come to overthrow the throne Deceiver, deceiver of the gods Deceiver of the gods

As you look into my eyes And tell those empty lies I'll pretend they're true 'Cause that's what I do As you sit and hold my hand And smile at other men I'll pretend I'm blind 'Cause I'm just that kind I'm the king of fool And I'll always reign Over loneliness and pain The king of fools Wears his crown Wherever misery Can be found --- Instrumental --- I'm the king of fool And I'll always reign Over loneliness and pain The king of fools Wears his crown Wherever misery Can be found As you walk away with him And I lose in love again I'll pretend to see That you're still with me But I'll be there all alone Like a king upon a throne 'Cause I'm the king of fools Yes, I'm the king of fools... --- Instrumental to fade ---

Loud shots, tears of children and dearth Chased me into a boat full of hazards. Stormy Sea, days of suffering, This war wasn't over Although the stars of hope could relight The warm fire inside our hearts. Inside our hearts! I was treated as crud and faced with hate, You're not a sojourner, You're just a stranger! I just came to live! Is there no hope, they asked me. It's in the heart of God, I said! Xenophobia will lead us to a fear against ourselves. Open your closed mind! He loves the foreigners Residing among you, Giving them food and clothing. They are the same as you! They are the same as you! They are the same as you! They are the same as you! Loud shots, tears of children and dearth Chased me into a boat Full of hazards.

It's time for me to be on my way I know I've got business to conduct And I've got places to go But I can't help looking at her sleeping instead Another morning I'll have trouble climbing out of this bed Because - she's such a temptation It's driving me crazy And it's my fascination That's making me act this way And I know what all my friends say They're afraid that I'm losing my touch But she's such a temptation I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep And I've got too many commitments that are too hard to keep And I try to be rational And I try to be wise But it all gets blown to pieces When I look in her eyes Because - she's such a temptation And nothing can save me And my only salvation Is tearing myself away And I know what all of my friends say There's a danger in wanting too much But she's such a temptation I should be leaving But I can't cut loose I have my reasons for resistance But I have no excuse And I lose my composure I could use some restraint I never claimed to be a hero And I never said I was a saint She's such a temptation It's driving me crazy And it's my fascination That's making me act this way And I can just hear all my friends say Better watch out, you're losing your touch But she's such a temptation Yes she is She's such a temptation Yes she is Yes she is She's such a temptation
