I used to walk alone, no knowlegde of the world
Except the meaning of true evil
These evil ones who take control of our minds
They'll be destroyed and we'll be free

No turning back
No way out of this
No more fear

You took my freedom and surrounded me,
With all you hatered and your lies
But now I'm back, and I'm coming for you
You'll pay for those you have killed
