Lifetime of training Legacy of pain Bringing honor to those that remain Portraits of evil Whose form they recall Faces torn from their place on the wall Nexus of evil A castle vast The existence of man slipping into the past Carries the burden Now nearing the peak Perhaps he will find the redemption he seeks There's something here Staircase to darkness and fear Out of time [Chorus] Saving this dying land Hourgla** runs out of sand Shedding this Human life Tonight the lord of darkness shall rise The bone-dusted cells Between the gears Machinery powered by mortal fear Blood is the fabric that covers the stair The words of his master becoming his prayer Behold the Omen Eclipse of the moon Convergence of evil awaits in this room A demon resides in this living corpse Cut off the head and another springs forth This can't be real Into this nightmare revealed Out of time [Chorus] Evil it stands at midnight Weapons they flash in the moonlight Now it's time to strike this demon down once and for all The moment of truth If it's lost, the legacy shatters The strength of his ancestors gathered say Simon fight for the good of all mankind [Chorus]
