[Instrumental Intro]


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 1]

When I was but very young

Sorcerers came to claim my mind

Leaving death and hatred to unmask

The master of the game had won

And let his final sin be known

Killing those who stand in his path


[Chorus]

Alone in the dark

Where the demons are torturing me

The dark passages of revenge

Is all that I see


[Refrain]

Armies of witches

Are called in from the north

Murders of elders occur

The high priest of evil

Has lowered his iron fist

Thousands of people will die


[Verse 2]

The slaughter of the innocent

The house that burns

That lights the sky

My nightmare has begun to unfold

The hissing of the cobra's tongue

Sound and feel of ripping flesh

Fall two thousand feet from the sky


[Verse 3]

My terror has controlled my life

And let my only weakness know

I've got to rid this hell from my head

I fight off evil sorcerers

Rid my mind of his torture

And meet the falling angel in his realm


[Chorus]

Alone in the dark

Where the demons are torturing me

The dark passages of revenge

Is all that I see


[Post-Chorus]

Faustus prepares the legions of the night

Diviners from the far north arrive

Aimlessly people they're huddled in a pack

Wreaking deadly havoc on mankind


[Verse 4]

I've fallen in my deepest sleep

To meet the evil Asteroth

His title is the Grand Duke of Hell

I fight until the end is near

To rid my mind of hopes and fears

My destination lies in my dreams

Set me free


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 1]

Killing those who stand in his path


[Chorus]

Alone in the dark

Where the demons are torturing me

The dark passages of revenge

Is all that I see


[Refrain]

Armies of witches

Are called in from the north

Murders of elders occur

The high priest of evil

Has lowered his iron fist

Thousands of people will die
