I've sailed the oceans and the burning seas
I've lived a thousand lives and your fate is my destiny
A cold dark silence, deep within I grow
A haunting spirit that will never let me go
I've crossed the land the earth and sea
I bring the shroud of misery
A thousand visions that were seen by few
I've held the secrets but I knew they were never true
The walls of hatred were built in my name
I raised the temples then I watched them burn in flames
I've crossed the land the earth and sea
I am what is and what shall be
And your evil world is all I see
I wear the shroud of misery
I am the dark shadow, who hides in the night
My deeds go unspoken, the taker of life
I speak for the weary, I lie for the few
I am the oppressor, I stand for what's true
I've lived a thousand lives and your fate is my destiny
A cold dark silence, deep within I grow
A haunting spirit that will never let me go
I've crossed the land the earth and sea
I bring the shroud of misery
A thousand visions that were seen by few
I've held the secrets but I knew they were never true
The walls of hatred were built in my name
I raised the temples then I watched them burn in flames
I've crossed the land the earth and sea
I am what is and what shall be
And your evil world is all I see
I wear the shroud of misery
I am the dark shadow, who hides in the night
My deeds go unspoken, the taker of life
I speak for the weary, I lie for the few
I am the oppressor, I stand for what's true
