I've seen holes so black
Gone to their edge
They eat the light alive
I've seen foundations crack
Pillars fall
Good men meet early demise
I've seen the leeches bite (the leeches bite)
Into the flesh (into the flesh)
The sycophants grasping tight
I've felt their maker's hand
So cold and calloused
The evil hides in plain sight, he told me

They want your soul (they want your soul)
They need you to relinquish control
Self-doubt, ego enraging
Your greatest foes are the ones of your own making
They want your soul

I wear the wounds so deep
They have no end
They eat me from inside
I lead the pack to feed
My prey awaits
No one will be left alive
Now I reclaim my rights
As I transform
I've done this just to survive
I am the entity
Shapeless and swift
I've become one with your mind, so I tell you

They want your soul (they want your soul)
They need you to relinquish control
Self-doubt, ego enraging
Your greatest foes are the ones of your own making
They want your soul (they want your soul)
They know the secrets yet to be told (be told)
Don't fear the beast you're waking
Your greatest foes are the ones of your own making

You've only lived like breeding rats
You've scavenged the chances that you've had
The depths you face you so thrillingly seek
Your spirit's been claimed, now the shadows feast
You've cursed the gods, your innocence lost
Now mumble a prayer and clutch your cross
You squirm like worms to avoid the cost
The consequences of life as an albatross
They're gonna find you
To pay what you owe
They'll always find you
Deep within you know

They want your soul (they want your soul)
They need you to relinquish control (control)
Self-doubt, ego enraging
Your greatest foes are the ones of your own making
They want your soul (they want your soul)
They know the secrets yet to be told (be told)
Don't fear the beast you're waking
Your greatest foes are the ones of your own making
