Shining the day
Watching not to see
Feel the deepest feelings
You start to see the way

Opening your soul
Flying in the times
Find your own light
And return for good to life

Life...when death is raping, death is closing your...
Eyes...when release your eyes no longer see the...
Sky...when you feel your sky, your sky is in...
Time...when youre searchin' still
....for what you seek and die!!!

You are my God, You are my light
You are my Lord, You are my life




You are my God, You are my light
You are my Lord, You are my real life!

Ever since birth I've been
Attracted to the sinister
All the malignant, cruel forces of the world
Yet at times I've been mislead by her opposite
And it is with great shame
I acknowledge these mistakes

Father... who art not in heaven
Hear my cries of true remorse
To let a mortal being ever coincide with thou
Must be punished by a fate worse than death

I find comfort in sadness and in grief
Thinking of all those beautiful
Things that could have been
Now put me in a position where
I would have to choose
My devotion to evil will always
Come before you

For countless days and countless nights
I've been wandering these
Worn-down streets all alone
And it is in these angstridden moments
I find nutrition for my starving

Misanthropic soul

I find comfort in sadness and in grief
Thinking of all those beautiful
Things that could have been
Now put me in a position where
I would have to choose
My devotion to evil will always
Come before you

No matter what you do
No matter what you say
Whoever you may pray

Christianity worldwide
Satanas worldwide

This song has one of the best solos and ending riff I've ever heard and I've been listening to, maybe thousands of metal bands in 15 years or so.

@barbsy6204

The solo at the end literally stabs me in the heart

@Tha3rdworldghost

But this song is about life.

@adalheiddisherem8756

@@Tha3rdworldghost don't see how that contradicts the statement.

@Maktfaktor

The song is shit. You are putting the bar extremely low by comparing it to life though.
