lyrics

People look at me and see,
Something that I ought to be.
I'm not that man, I will not change,
My mind and life you rearrange.

My mind is cold, my heart is numb,
The time for talk is all but done.
Take a good look and then you'll see,
You do not know what lurks in me.

(Chorus)
You cannot see behind my eyes,
Can't see what lurks behind my smile.
Evil blackens and decays the hearts of men,
In many ways.
You cannot see what's in my head,
Can't see what lurks inside my mind.
Put down the pen,
Take up your sword,
Evil our virtue,
Pain our reward.

People look at me and think,
I'm moving closer to the brink.
And when I fall, where will I go?
And what will I have to show?

My mind is cold, my heart is dead,
From your hell I've often fled.
Take a good look and then you'll see,
The evil deep inside of me.

(Chorus)

People look at me and hear,
All the bad things and the fear.
I try to tell them that's not me,
But they have a certainty.

My heart is cold, my mind is lost,
Covered with a deadly frost.
Take a good look and then you'll see,
The hell that you bestowed on me.

(Chorus)
