Child of Sam

I follow the path of these disturbed minds
Now Im tryin to find what I did with mine
Was taught the truth now I tell these lies
I put on a disguise, I am the one I despise
I sit behind these caged walls again
Lookin for some friends, but they all pretend
No good around me all I see is sin
I put on a grin so that I fit in

I do not want you to know who I am
I am the child of Sam
Got to remind myself that Im not you
Before I forget the truth
I have to learn to keep my mind tamed
Before I get lost in this game
I look in the mirror and start to see
The evil over taking me

So negative nothin around but hate
I cannot wait until I walk out that gate
I told myself that I wont lose my faith 
But at this rate it just might be too late
I just cant get them to understand
That I had a plan to be a better person
Now I'm out to get whoever I can
You should of ran cuz now your in my hands



Its beginning to get under my skin
I cannot let this evil win
I cant let myself forget myself
I will not be destined for hell
And now I will tell you who I am
I am the child of Sam
No need to remind myself Im not you
Because I will tell the truth
Now that Ive learned to keep my mind tamed
Im sick and tired of this game
I look in the mirror and start to see
The evil letting go of me

Prince of Darkness

Silent deadly predator stalking me in the twilight
He watches from the darkness for he would perish in the light
No matter where I go I never leave his sight
I shall join him in his quarters upon the fall of night
Then I shall feel the power of his suductive bite

He claims me as his own and dares anyone to protest
For anyone who does will have their hearts ripped from their chest.

My blood is like a drug to him a need he cannot sadate
He thinks himself a monster a being I shoul hate

I asked him to make me his till the end of times
I shiver as I bite into into the nape of his neck and I scream as his lips touch mine

I share with my prince of darkness an eternal love
That any other person could only dream of
