I've seen the cities falling down I know the wage of sin I've been beyond the gates of hell And read the writs unknown I've seen the mighty well of souls Entered the secret land I've been in the vale of death And heard the cries of pain
I wanted to reign over the forced of darkness A man should not play with such powers How could I've been too blind to see That I have to pay with my eternal soul
I'm reprobate that's for sure There is no help there is no cure My black heart's rotten to the core My soul screaming for evermore
I've seen the future I know the past I ruled the earth I know how long it will last The time is near when it will blast Now I just hope that my end will come fast
I read the books I made the conjurations I faced powers unseen My burning lust to know it all Shall soon be my doom I desired forbidden wisdom It costs me my soul Soon I have to make my payment My time is running out, oh God!
