Symphony X - To Hell And Back lyrics

I have led the lamb into the slaughter Ice flowed through my veins I was my own worst enemy, still hellish memories remain. I have shown the serpent into the garden And wore the mask of Cain, Take a look in these eyes, where the past evil lies - and Feel my pain. Oh - the hell hounds drawling near ...And my conscience isn't clear I'm the one who whispered the words the words to Judas, I'm the hangman's noose. Through I try to repent, in a valiant attempt - it's no use. I'm the judge, the jury, the executioner Oh, the things I've seen With an eye for an eye, k** the man, k** the past, k** the dream. Oh - the hell hounds drawling near ...And my conscience isn't clear I've been to hell and back... And I can't justify believing the lie. I slowly fade to black Learning to live and die - I'm learning to fly. Under the moonlit glow - I just can't let it go Words spoke in vain, now fall like a silent tear. As shades dance by candlelight - in the dead of the night And all of the things I yearn slowly disappear And now there's nothing here... Riding the storm, heading for a fall I curse you all - be damned. Through the haze, the sword that cuts both ways A line is drawn in the sand. Iron-bound - a will as cold as steel. To conquer all and divide Striking with an iron fist of will I will not be denied. On and on and on... No quarter asked, no quarter given. On and on and on... Never forgotten or forgiven. Thunders rise from the terror's eyes Scorched by a heart drenched in black. No return, I will watch it burn Now there's no turning back. On and on and on... No quarter asked, no quarter given. On and on and on... Never forgotten or forgiven. I've been to hell and back... And I can't justify believing the lie. I slowly fade to black Learning to live and die - I'm learning to fly
