The Stranger
Lyrics
Darkness comes like fear into the
waiting world tonight
I watch the full moon gather through
the black clouds in the sky
Another dim-lit room with staring
shadows all around
I sit and wait for them to change with
bloodshed on my mind
[chorus]
The air is filled with screams tonight
The air is filled with madness
I will fight until they claim my life
I have become what I despise
They watch me still with cat-like eyes
that see into my thoughts
The moon is creeping higher through the
heavy, stagnant air
Soon the change will happen and I'll
let my silver fly
My judgment falls, a heavy fist
Until death takes my life
[chorus]
I look into my past to find the reasons
why I'm left alone
My heaven, will be revenge for all
I've lost to them
[chorus] x2
