Jeckyl And Hyde
Iced Earth · Horror Show [2001]
I'm lying on the floor
I've broken through some door
I don't know how I came to this
There is blood lust in my eyes
And someone in my mind saying
I have forced you here
I'm hiding, right here inside you
Trapped in here so long
You'll find me growing in every man
Who is this that speaks to me?
Tearing down my mind
My reality
This must certainly be the one
What will I pay for this?
This evil synthesis!
I'm out of control
Evil takes my soul
I can feel you inside me
Of course
You're not stronger than me
I am you
I won't let you bless you
I do
No, you can't have me!
I won't let you destroy me
You took away my life
With your wicked seed
If you're able to take control
You'll bring damnation upon my soul
