"An Alien's Rage"
By Michael Knapp

Don't say you love me
because I know it's a lie
You're my corruption
A disciple waiting to die

'A voice more dead than old'
You left me out in the cold

Voices of reason calling
But no one there to hear
'Bow down and cry' you said
As you'd feed upon my fear

You are an alien's rage
You are darkness called 'the light'
On knees, I beg and plead
'Dead Heaven' as the demons bite

The fire of Fallen Angels
Quenched with 'holy' desire
Valhalla, you have betrayed us!
Watch them rise from the mire

'A voice more dead than old'
You left me out in the cold

'Cruel wind clutching my heart'
You framed my breath
Out in the lands beyond, I stood
Awaiting the final death

You are an alien's rage
You are darkness called 'the light'
On knees, I beg and plead
'Dead Heaven' as the demons bite

'A voice more dead than old'
You left me out in the cold

'A voice more dead than old'
You left me out in the cold
