Of the Deep Lyrics

I gained a taste for delectable sin,
Many sustained it, but few have bought in,
I am a sinner in the seat of a saint
I will no longer try to abstain
Mortals granted me but satisfaction
Could quench my thirst, but that's where it ends
If only, if only, my call to action
Could reach so much higher, beyond simple men

Ancient ages in my dreams
A future far beneath the seas
I've founded this order on my beliefs
I am the lord of the deep

They used to call me a saint
Who told the tales
Of the deep
As vivid as day is bright
Can't get rid of the taint
They tip the scales
Of the deep
Eyes, blinded by gleaming light
I take a few each night
They shall be my sacrifice

Gathered my might, became so much stronger
As my tainted reign became ever longer
But as time faded my soul it was taken
As fuel for the worlds but I'll reawaken
My time long gone, again the flame faded
Roaming the world while my coven degraded
Reaching the cities where once the gods dwelt
The youngest divine by my hunger was felled

Heirs of the flame once again seek the fire
Pleasing the old gods to whom they aspire
Now once again I sit high on my throne
Watching and waiting with powers unknown
