Mother in the Pit

[verse] A voice of gold in a world of grey She sang the sun into the day The serpent came with crown of gold A royal trap, all lies he sold Dragged to depths to feed his need Drained all life for hollow greed! [chorus] In the black! The darkest hole But from the ash, a fury wakes He stole her life but not her soul The cage shall rattle, kingdom shakes! [verse] Two bleeding gems born in the night In absolute dark, bereft of sight Her life for them a sacrifice But someone else will pay the price No longer victim, no longer slave A phantom rises from the grave! [chorus] In the black! The darkest hole But from the ash, a fury wakes He stole her life but not her soul The cage shall rattle, kingdom shakes! [bridge] You left me to rot. You thought I was gone. But the dark grew teeth. Oh I'm not done. [solo] [verse] RECLAIM THE FLESH! RECLAIM THE BONE! TEAR THE TYRANT FROM HIS THRONE! A POUND OF FLESH! A SEA OF RED! THE SPECTER RISES FROM THE DEAD! RISE! RISE! RISE! [OUTRO] The pit is open. The children scream. The nightmare walks from royal dream. I clawed by way from deepest black I've come to take my body back. Meet the edge, the specter's knife! MY POUND OF FLESH - I'LL TAKE YOUR LIFE
