3. Godforsaken (8:36)
Where is the light and the reason?
Where is the mercy of God?
Have we been cast to damnation?
Have we been banished to dark?
They say that the world freezes over
They say the The Head Wolf has come
Driving his forces to battle
Driving his forces to war
They await in the twilight
They await in the shades
They will come for the sinners
They will come for our souls
Chained in the cellar of vicar
Chained by the shackles of Christ
A maiden they accuse of witchcraft
A maiden they blame for the kills
I ask her to place her trust on me
I bid her to open her heart
For I'll find the light that has flamed out
For I'll seek the truth in the night
I wander in eternal darkness
I wander on forsaken paths
I seek for the light that has flamed out
I seek for the truth in the night
She confides to me; there is something inside
Deep in her flesh there's a wound
Bullet of lead, caught in her flank
Aching there with every move
I confide to her; there is craft that I know
I could try to pull it away
She looks into me with glistening eyes
Lines on her brow disappear
If hope, once dead, now awakes
If hope, once gone, is reborn
Deep in this forgotten realm
Deep in the shadows that reign
Far from the grace of the true God
Far from the light of the Christ
I wander in eternal darkness
I wander on forsaken paths
I seek for the light that has flamed out
I seek for the truth in the night
Where is the mercy of God?
Have we been cast to damnation?
Have we been banished to dark?
They say that the world freezes over
They say the The Head Wolf has come
Driving his forces to battle
Driving his forces to war
They await in the twilight
They await in the shades
They will come for the sinners
They will come for our souls
Chained in the cellar of vicar
Chained by the shackles of Christ
A maiden they accuse of witchcraft
A maiden they blame for the kills
I ask her to place her trust on me
I bid her to open her heart
For I'll find the light that has flamed out
For I'll seek the truth in the night
I wander in eternal darkness
I wander on forsaken paths
I seek for the light that has flamed out
I seek for the truth in the night
She confides to me; there is something inside
Deep in her flesh there's a wound
Bullet of lead, caught in her flank
Aching there with every move
I confide to her; there is craft that I know
I could try to pull it away
She looks into me with glistening eyes
Lines on her brow disappear
If hope, once dead, now awakes
If hope, once gone, is reborn
Deep in this forgotten realm
Deep in the shadows that reign
Far from the grace of the true God
Far from the light of the Christ
I wander in eternal darkness
I wander on forsaken paths
I seek for the light that has flamed out
I seek for the truth in the night
