Torment
I have tried to prove my worth
I was forgotten at my birth
This empty life I've known so well
Boils down to one moment in hell
The hatred rises like bile
I am a waste, a cursed child
Through life I crawl as a serpent
In spite of God I'll not repent
Lay my hands upon your head
Blessed child, I name thee dead
I am an angel, heaven sent
You shall not suffer life's torment
Do you wonder why we're born?
Do you hear angels laugh in scorn?
In this world you would find no peace
I am he that brings release
How can mercy be deemed sin?
Speak the demons deep within
To their tune I gladly dance
For little children saved by chance
While angels turn a blind eye
From the blessed shadows come I
While mothers lie in midst of dreams
I do my work and hear no screams
So through the darkened streets
I prowl until my task's complete
Fearing no mortal punishment
The Devil's luck I have been lent
Condemned to spend my days
Lost within an immoral maze
Waiting for night to set me free
To do the work given to me
Heaven and Hell tempt me so
For whom I work I do not know
Every thought is bent towards
Obeying the tormenting words
Do not condemn what I do
I am no less human than you
I am only eager to serve
Called from below for higher work
As night falls again I walk
Seeking shadows from which to stalk
To take your children is my curse
To save them from a fate much worse
In my hands they lose their cares
There is sorrow beyond your nightmares
I feel its depth and wish to save them
From the world that would enslave them
Damned to know the fate that awaits me
I live only to set their souls free
To hold them close and let them go
Into the peace I'll never know
Lay my hands upon your head
Blessed child, I name thee dead
I am an angel, heaven sent
You shall not suffer my torment
I was forgotten at my birth
This empty life I've known so well
Boils down to one moment in hell
The hatred rises like bile
I am a waste, a cursed child
Through life I crawl as a serpent
In spite of God I'll not repent
Lay my hands upon your head
Blessed child, I name thee dead
I am an angel, heaven sent
You shall not suffer life's torment
Do you wonder why we're born?
Do you hear angels laugh in scorn?
In this world you would find no peace
I am he that brings release
How can mercy be deemed sin?
Speak the demons deep within
To their tune I gladly dance
For little children saved by chance
While angels turn a blind eye
From the blessed shadows come I
While mothers lie in midst of dreams
I do my work and hear no screams
So through the darkened streets
I prowl until my task's complete
Fearing no mortal punishment
The Devil's luck I have been lent
Condemned to spend my days
Lost within an immoral maze
Waiting for night to set me free
To do the work given to me
Heaven and Hell tempt me so
For whom I work I do not know
Every thought is bent towards
Obeying the tormenting words
Do not condemn what I do
I am no less human than you
I am only eager to serve
Called from below for higher work
As night falls again I walk
Seeking shadows from which to stalk
To take your children is my curse
To save them from a fate much worse
In my hands they lose their cares
There is sorrow beyond your nightmares
I feel its depth and wish to save them
From the world that would enslave them
Damned to know the fate that awaits me
I live only to set their souls free
To hold them close and let them go
Into the peace I'll never know
Lay my hands upon your head
Blessed child, I name thee dead
I am an angel, heaven sent
You shall not suffer my torment
