Tears of the Dead

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Intro lead – Michael Hideous crimes, atrocities The slaughter of millions…beyond belief Those were dark times, so different from now The law of evil ruled our fatherland I was but a pawn in their game Why should I feel any guilt? Still when I close, close my eyes The words unfold, it all comes back Chorus: I can't deny it, can't defy it I know it to be true In my sleep…they come to haunt me They know it to be true Tears of the dead We are all on the turning wheel of fate A young man, standing proud in uniform I never stopped to hesitate Until it was far too late Lead – Christopher My hands are soiled, covered in blood Stains that never wash away Their hollow eyes Confronting me – Judging me 1st lead – Christopher 2nd lead – Michael Now an old man, at the end of my days Contemplating…my life of sin Living is never simple – The road is hard I had no say…just a puppet in a sick play
