Sabbat — I For An Eye lyrics

Lyrics

This tale i tell that all may see
Behind god’s truth lurks treachery
'mine is the right to glory and light
And you shall have heartache and pain
Yours must be hell —
For in heaven i’ll dwell
I care not for that earthly domain.'
'for crimes against divinity —
The loneliness of purgatory
Your kingdom rule — humanity
Mankind shall be your hell.'
'why have you done this to me —
Tell me what is my crime
I’m tried and convicted —
Guilty the fate that is mine
You say i’m a devil —
Then by hell the devil i’ll be.'
'as aeons passed without cessation —
Brewing hatred from damnation
In darkness satan waited —
Laughed as god the earth created
And man in his own image made —
Unaware that plans were laid
'till from the dark eternal night —
A serpent crawled into the light
And so from darkness a rage without measure —
Burst spreading the cancer 'cross eden
Corrupting and tempting and never relenting
Abusing man’s newly found freedom.'
'out of the abyss i come the avenger
Shapeless and faceless — yet i have a name
I shall tighten my grip on your now flawed creation
Endeavour to show you the meaning of pain.'
'it soothes my heart
To see you cry
When i am done
You will learn as i —
To suffer in hell.'
'impaled on the horns of a dilema —
It seems what were my nightmares
Are now naught but dreams
For you who have riches know paradise well
And i who have nothing am burning in hell
