David Draiman - Old Friend lyrics

[Verse 1] They are the ghosts of innocence That have awoken from my dreams Welcome to your nightmare Say goodbye to everything All your past obscenities They have determined where I stand Echoing cries, in the time that it began [Chorus] Hear me now Feel my blade There is no more time for apologies Malevolent emotions Take hold of me Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side? d**h is an old friend of mine [Verse 2] You can't escape your judgment I hear them calling out your name Do not beg for mercy now You never showed any to them Embrace your final punishment There's not a soul to hear you scream I have to thank you for letting out the animal in me [Chorus] [Verse 2] The blood became my life When I was trapped inside And I can feel the dark pa**enger calling me My mother's blood and mine Uniquely intertwined Help me father purge the memory from my mind My hunger to destroy When I was just a boy It pulled me deeper into something that I now enjoy The ritual begins Evil will meet its end In your destruction I will finally feel whole again [Chorus] There is no more time for apologies Malevolent emotions Take hold of me Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side? d**h is an old friend of mine [Outro] I have become your nightmare Say goodbye to every thing
