Iced Earth
Dark Saga
[Spoken Intro]
"The deal was rigged
There's darkness in my soul
I want to die again"

[Verse 1]
An empty soul shrouded in darkness
Alone and confused, what am I?
Images flash, memories jaded
He took my life, Goddamn his lies

[Verse 2]
Fight, Spawn of the damned
Bring down the Heavens
Smash in the gates
Burn them down
You must accept the fact that you're chosen
You will obey your destiny

[Chorus]
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I've lost it all

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I know there's goodness in me
Though I'm not the same
I will defy the master
I will refuse to be his slave

[Verse 3]
(No!) I was betrayed
I can't accept this
My future's unclear, it's a lie
I'll follow my heart
Stand and be counted
The curse will lift
I will survive

[Chorus]
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I've lost it all
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I've lost it all

[Instrumental Outro]
