The Tortured
Darkness embraces the sun
Swallowing the light
Choking away the day
And becoming the night
The air grows cold
Rain falls to the ground
And to this one rule
These beasts are forever bound
They wake with the stars
And sleep through the sun
Only they know
What they have done
Awake every night
Through clouds of icy rain
Doomed to be the Tortured
And to always feel the pain
Their cries are not loud
But can often be heard
This is not some disease
And it cannot be cured
So don't close your eyes
And don't shed a tear
For when the night is gone
You have nothing to fear...

Awake every night

But can often be heard
This is not some disease
And it cannot be cured
So don't close your eyes
And don't shed a tear
For when the night is gone
You have nothing to fear...
