And then there was nothing
And out of this void came the serpent
Prince of darkness
Ruler of the weakened
And then there was fear
And into the night I was driven
Hunted down by shadows
The sudden taste of blood
Oh, how could you leave me hanging?

And then there was fire
And in its flames I became a pris'ner
A blinded desciple
A caged slave
And then there was pain
And in its poison I drowned
While the smell of burnt flesh
Rose from blackened bones
But still, I came when I was hanged!
