Once A Man

Once a Man

Murdered by those he trusted
Flung into the fiery furnace
Lock and key completely dusted
Kept years rotting in this place.

Now he must be set free
Choices mark his every move
Good or evil brings his killing spree
No love, nothing will soothe.

A villain or an angel
He will decide for himself
His blood lust vengeance to quell
Mental anguish, clown's no help.

Once a man
Now he must do his bidding
An iron hand
Discover who is his king.

Made a deal
With the devil himself
It's so unreal
Pitched into the depths of hell.

The rage, the fury
Unsettled, he must see
The insanity, the key
Hunger, he must be.

The pain, the flood
Feelings, he must control
The anger, the blood
Savage, he will blow.

(chorus #1)

Once a man / Now a Spawn
From the abyss / Of hell now gone
A clown to guide / A predator
Heartache, confusion / Covering sores.

(chorus #2)

Once a man /Now a Hell Spawn
Feeling the hunger / Revenge dawned
A fight to the end / Deadly game
He's the Spawn / He's not insane.

The damned don't get reprieve
The man doesn't bleed he seethes

Rank and file, no commandments
Following that path, hell sent
Thrust into death as life descends
A Spawn burned and on the mend
Look in his eyes, he can't pretend
Bent on violence he won't bend.

(chorus #2)
