Betrayal - Escaping The Alter lyrics

Once upon a time there was a modern fair maiden With a lifetime that looked ever bright Last of pure and innocence was her guard Yet she's open for attack But wanting excitment she sought To fulfill a desire deep inside Now comes a decision for love and forgiveness She said, "I don't need this foolish Christ!" Instead it was time for a dive into life To see how far she could go Throwing away her freedom She's looking for her chains With a heart turned hard, back to a way That could save her life She ventures out in a curious fashion With no caution or fear To see what she could find Huh? What kind of story is this? Recriter with crafty evil Looking for their prey There's an evening of high evil approaching Thieves of lost and lonely children Sbatching lives for deadly gain Feeling secure In a crowd that gives you welcome Friends who you know But you don't know She loves their mysterious ways and the presence They bring to her life But what she doesn't know She'll prove curiosity k**ed the cat "Sure I believe in Satan" She exclaims with unstable thought She goes through a door And can't get back through Now the test The night came When unspoken wickedness became reality Before me they showed Their truest evil and every form of lust, perversion and blasphemy With hunger for more I scream, "I can't get involved in this!" They smiled, "you're already in And soon you'll be the main event!" The night has come, ceremonial alter Waiting to be painted with the blood of the weak Black robes surrounding the sacrifice To be slain in white Her body and blood brings them power They hunger for the feast I can't express the horrors And sadness of this place As hell itself is visiting Through a five pointed star I hear chanting sung by demons And a choir of despairing void As they prepare ceremonial alter For their lord Satan I'm running for my life A despairing victim with no escape I caught and returned to the alter of d**h My face to the black sky Winds begin to stir I lie a wait for my fateful d**h There's a dark one now I can see Waiting to take me down I realize the life I could've had With the God of love and power But I turned and spat on his face And sought a foolish desire There's no winner in the game they play The k**er and the prey Will burn in torment Screaming and pleading I beg for life Then I stop and only cry The draw and encircle About me for the time has finally come Oh Lord, please God help me The dagger's coming down!
