The Thing Within - Deathrow

Night after night, the same thing happens

Something takes over my soul

I try to resist, but I’ve got no chance

Again I lose and it wins

Emptiness fills my body

My eyes see things which cannot be

Am I insane or is this a dream?

I am no longer me

A strange feeling grips my mind

A growing need to kill

It comes out of the nothingness

And possesses my will

Orders start rushing through my brain

To kill everything in sight

I feel it’s diabolic lust

To slay with delight

My body is lead through empty streets

By the invisible force

I hide in the shadows, smell every being

Unheared of instincts awake

I’m like a puppet, guided by strings

Filled with the breath of life

Pliable I’ll obey my master

Will feel no remorse

A strange feeling grips my mind

A growing need to kill

It comes out of the nothingness

And possesses my will

Orders start rushing through my brain

To kill everything in sight

I feel it’s diabolic lust

To slay with delight

Now the thing totally unfolds

Making me it’s slave

Want to look for harmless victims

To send them to their graves

The order are clear, I will obey

-Kill everything in sight

Hungry for the smell of blood

I will slay with delight

Morning light is falling, on my sweaty face

I open my eyes

My clothes are torn to pieces, dry blood everywhere

What have I done?

I look on the clock, already afternoon

I know it will happen again

Again !

— It will happen to me

Again !

— The thing won’t set me free

Again !

— I will obey

Again !

— The thing will be my fate
