Crusader (The Purge)
Echoing footsteps call to me
Deep in my fortress of stone
Through the dark, I smell terror
Behind the bravado
Some would call me lost
I am where I choose to be
I know every mossy corridor
This labyrinth is my domain
Those who seek a monster
Are sure to find a beast
Lurking inside the maze
Deformed and depraved
Despair
Devour the brave and the foolish
Wickedness
Beats in the breast of the paladin
Dried blood upon the bricks
Tread the path of self-destruction
Bring me your heart filled with hate
Look deep into the mirror
So-called hero
Recognize the horns are your own
Bloodlust transformed
Parody of righteousness
Crusader of disgust
Disturber of my peace
What glory do you hope to gain?
Misguided quest for confrontation
Mercenary scum
Step over the clattering bones
Of those who've tried before
In these lightless depths
I hold court
Those who seek a monster
Are sure to find a beast
Lurking inside the maze
Deformed and depraved
Despair
Devour the brave and the foolish
Wickedness
Beats in the breast of the paladin
Dried blood upon the bricks
Tread the path of self-destruction
Bring me your heart filled with hate
Look deep into the mirror
So-called hero
Recognize the horns are your own
Bloodlust transformed
Parody of righteousness
Crusader of disgust
I turn my eyes away
From those who've forced my hand
Another grim memorial
Bone chips and cracked enamel
Ground into the stones
Each monument a failure to find a middle way
Dried blood upon the bricks
Tread the path of self-destruction
Bring to me a heart filled with hate
Look deep into the mirror
So-called hero
Reflect upon your thirst for martyrdom
Beg my help to ease your burden
Purge your veins of passion's blood
Deep in my fortress of stone
Through the dark, I smell terror
Behind the bravado
Some would call me lost
I am where I choose to be
I know every mossy corridor
This labyrinth is my domain
Those who seek a monster
Are sure to find a beast
Lurking inside the maze
Deformed and depraved
Despair
Devour the brave and the foolish
Wickedness
Beats in the breast of the paladin
Dried blood upon the bricks
Tread the path of self-destruction
Bring me your heart filled with hate
Look deep into the mirror
So-called hero
Recognize the horns are your own
Bloodlust transformed
Parody of righteousness
Crusader of disgust
Disturber of my peace
What glory do you hope to gain?
Misguided quest for confrontation
Mercenary scum
Step over the clattering bones
Of those who've tried before
In these lightless depths
I hold court
Those who seek a monster
Are sure to find a beast
Lurking inside the maze
Deformed and depraved
Despair
Devour the brave and the foolish
Wickedness
Beats in the breast of the paladin
Dried blood upon the bricks
Tread the path of self-destruction
Bring me your heart filled with hate
Look deep into the mirror
So-called hero
Recognize the horns are your own
Bloodlust transformed
Parody of righteousness
Crusader of disgust
I turn my eyes away
From those who've forced my hand
Another grim memorial
Bone chips and cracked enamel
Ground into the stones
Each monument a failure to find a middle way
Dried blood upon the bricks
Tread the path of self-destruction
Bring to me a heart filled with hate
Look deep into the mirror
So-called hero
Reflect upon your thirst for martyrdom
Beg my help to ease your burden
Purge your veins of passion's blood
