Intro
Verse 1
Shadows Crawling Down The Hall
Silent Whispers Start To Call
Iron Bars And Rusted Stone
Left To Rot Inside Alone
Pre-Chorus
The Clock Is Ticking Backward Now
I Try To Run, But Don't Know How
A Sea Of Red Behind My Eyes
Reach Into The Dark Where Conscience Dies!
Chorus
Break The Chains Of The Forgotten!
Sinking Down Into The Rotten!
No Escape From What You've Done!
Blinded By The Setting Sun!
Interlude / Thrash Riff
Verse 2
Thunder Crashing In My Head
Counting Down Among The Dead
Steel And Fire, Flesh And Bone
Claim The Kingdom On Your Own
Pre-Chorus
The Clock Is Ticking Backward Now
I Try To Run, But Don't Know How
A Sea Of Red Behind My Eyes
Reach Into The Dark Where Conscience Dies!
Chorus
Break The Chains Of The Forgotten!
Sinking Down Into The Rotten!
No Escape From What You've Done!
Blinded By The Setting Sun!
