Thanks to Craig for allowing me to use his lyrics and keep this song alive. I helped a little bit with the words but essential this is Craig's lyrical opus. This song was the first song to start delving into more personal issues rather than war, or fictitious stories... We all have inner demons, and shit dwelling inside us that sometimes we cannot control. I love this track, our first epic live track that was intense, brutal, lots of riffs, chops. Heavily inspired by Jon Schaffer.
hate living deep within
a puzzled mind, where to begin?
to give up hope, a deadly sin
will i lose or will i win?
welcome to my nightmare
it is blinding
say hello to hatred
out of hiding
get out of my mind
it's like a hammer from behind
with thoughts and feelings intertwined
why is this so hard to find?
facing fears that come within
i cannot run from everything
inner beast won't leave me rest
the demons spawn put to the test
enemy inside of me
i cannot take it anymore
enemy inside of me
lying bleeding on the floor
enemy inside of me
i cannot take the pain each day
enemy inside of me
i’ll kill to take the pain away
is this the end of life i know?
the features black they do not show
i’ll face my inside enemy
blacken the scars to set me free
i’ll kill the fears within my soul
i’ll take the wheel to have control
i’ll sieze the day and fight to win
i am the god of everything
what is it you want from me?
why won't you just leave me?
can you feel the pain inside me?
kill all fears they cannot bind me
let me fly and you will see
i've killed my inside enemy
why is the pain still inside?
looking for where it hides
conquer all, release my spirit
fall below and they shall fear it
reaching out to hear the plea
destroy my inside enemy
escaping through the burn
embedded on the inside of me
knowing and watch the turn
blinding a face I could not see
fists clenched a fit of rage
sinking into a lower stage
inside the enemy
a mind trap no place of ecstasy
enemy inside of me
turbulent reign of anarchy
testing the ring of faith
vanished leaving a vile taste
no place to dwell
creating a structure of living hell
feared to face the truth
heart strung from the roof
devouring, inhale, exhale
lifeless has left eyes pale
while
i've become someone
turn me back to none
can i take it on?
no more
while
i became someone
turned me back to none
i can take it on
forever
get out of my mind
it's like a hammer from behind
with thoughts and feelings intertwined
why is this so hard to find?
welcome to my nightmare
it is blinding
say hello to hatred
out of hiding
enemy inside of me
i cannot take it anymore
enemy inside of me
lying bleeding on the floor
enemy inside of me
i cannot take the pain each day
enemy inside of me
i’ll kill to take the pain away
