Father of Lies

you gave me life, and let me fly, you ripped it out, and let me die. your bloody hands, and messed up mind, tore out my eyes, and left me blind. these deadly wounds, won't ever heal, those other souls, you'll violently steal. don't be this way! i'm telling you now! the others don't know you'll break a vow.
