Ageless Stranger

Already in your dreams my legacy’s been told
You see my floating grin and soulless eyes, the world goes cold
You: One two three four five, I have spared your lives – for now
Hold your breath and cheat death

My shadow stalks in places light has never known
My boot-heels know the grit and bitter taste of every road
Those I’ve kept alive, I condemn to die – now!
You can’t change a spoon-fed fate
High above I’ll watch when birds of prey will feast and I’m
Laughing as your hearts choke on their last beats

Dance, my court of jester slaves, warm the dirt that fills your graves
I am and have been (and I have been)
The dark man of your dreams (man from your dreams)
Brace now, while you’re free (while you are free)
To take your stand and face me (and face me)
Never a humble man, I spread discord with my palms

Tipping the cradle of life, I harvest the horror
To see the world in flames, I’ll walk to the end of the earth
But miles and miles of highway lie in between my target and I
One last breath of airborne death
High above I’ll watch when birds of prey will feast and I’m
Laughing as your hearts choke on their last beats

Dance, my court of jester slaves
Warm the dirt that fills your graves
I am and have been (and I have been)
The dark man of your dreams (man from your dreams)
Brace now, while you’re free (while you are free)
To take your stand and face me (and face me)
Never will I lay down and die; end has come for man!
