Sometimes I feel like an angel torn

When life has stretched too deep

When what I will has gone astray

From the deadly secrets I keep



My life has been a puzzled game

My grievances a thorn

If I could take back what I’ve done

Maybe then I wouldn't mourn



My hands so strong now seem so weak

And my life is fading away

For the evil deeds I seek to cause

I’m now the Devil's prey



Greatness comes and greatness goes

But iniquity lives, and lives on

Even those whose lives have ended

Even after I am gone



Can’t you see the darkness here?

Can’t you feel the pain?

For every death that I have caused

For every soul I’ve slain



To look at me you’d never think

A person could take all this blame

To think that I could be so bad

And be filled with so much shame



I’ve got a guilty conscience now

I’ve got so much to hide

If you leave me now I’d understand

Who would want to stay by my side?



One day when I am all alone

The shadows of the moon

Will ascend down to take my soul

And it’ll be over too soon
