  • I'll bring you the head of the demon
    I'm peeling the skin from his face
    The life that you lead is inhuman
    Its cause and effects a disgrace

    You're sowing the seeds of a nightmare from hell
    Your prayers and your demons are tolling the bell

    Walking through fire, fate's in my hands
    Waiting for lightning to strike
    Man on a wire, bearing the brand
    Waiting for lightning to strike
    Lightning to strike

    Twisted dreams that are formed from illusion
    The collusion of fear and torment
    Decimating to stem this contusion
    With a power-mad freaking intent

    You're sowing the seeds of a nightmare from hell
    Your prayers and your demons lie dead where they fell

    Walking through fire, fate's in my hands
    Waiting for lightning to strike
    Man on a wire, bearing the brand
    Waiting for lightning to strike
    Lightning to strike

    I'll spin the world around reeling
    I have to when mankind's at stake
    I might be left broken and bleeding
    For it's all in the fight that we make

    You're sowing the seeds of a nightmare from hell
    Your prayers and your demons are tolling the bell

    Walking through fire, fate's in my hands
    Waiting for lightning to strike
    Man on a wire, bearing the brand
    Waiting for lightning to strike
    Lightning to strike
