Exordium: Taken

| Part 01 |
# Part 02 #

( Dark, Gothic-sounding. Orchestral beginning reminiscent of Avenged Sevenfold would do nicely. )

| Standing at the end of the world
Something is missing, I’m here to ask why
People leave, but I ache for one soul
Godforsaken Earth, does everyone die?
Viewing life through eyes of gray
To exist, this is your price to pay. |
# Sing the song of the dead
Hunger has taken this anima
Feast upon Hell’s bread
Lust has taken this anima
Satisfy your dark desire
For deep inside you are a liar
And fate’s choice has chosen this! #
| To demand of me what I don’t know
Locked safe inside my heart, an answer
Myself or Death, which is the greatest foe?
A shard of my heart she has torn away # howl
‘Way she went, it’s hard for me to say how
All I have is the faded token now
As the years pass, remembrance fades
I apologize to a being I can’t name
This spectre haunts me forevermore
Reasons fade away as I grow old and lame |
# Sing the song of the dead
Sleep has taken this anima
I have taken from one’s bed
Greed has taken this anima
Sell yourself to the highest buyer
For deep inside you are a liar
And fate’s choice has chosen this! #
( Instrumental break)
# Sing the song of the dead
Wrath will take your anima
Kill yourself for what he said | Standing at the end of the world
I Something is missing, I’m here to ask why
Will take, will take Viewing life through eyes of gray
You # To exist, this is your price to pay |
# whisper as song ends: I will take you. #
