I've sailed the oceans and the burning seas I've lived a thousand lives and your fate is my destiny A cold dark silence, deep within I grow A haunting spirit that will never let me go I've crossed the land the earth and sea I bring the shroud of misery A thousand visions that were seen by few I've held the secrets but I knew they were never true The walls of hatred were built in my name I raised the temples then I watched them burn in flames I've crossed the land the earth and sea I am what is and what shall be And your evil world is all I see I wear the shroud of misery I am the dark shadow, who hides in the night My deeds go unspoken, the taker of life I speak for the weary, I lie for the few I am the oppressor, I stand for what's true
