[Music and lyrics by Yngve Olsen and Jack R. Olsen] [Intro:] Guilty in blasphemy, well let me burn in hell You know my story, I've fallen from glory I am a priest with a riot in my heart The words of heaven makes me furious Where's my glory, where's my pride, where is my reward In vain I fought the holy fight, but I never saw the light God in heaven, I never felt your grace Divine and empty promises, I feel I've been betrayed I feel I've been betrayed I've always been a faithful man, a guardian of the light I called your name in my despair, but you never heard my prayers Why must I bear the cross you gave You say you really died for me, should I die for thee Should I die for thee [Bridge 1:] And through the shadow-world I roam Living in these ruins of my home Songtexte[Chorus:] I am the lord of the shadow-world I sacrificed my faith at the altar I swore revenge with unholy vowes The heavens shall fall, the angels will bleed to death [Chorus] I preach the word of your love, a hypocrite I am Behind my mask of holiness you'll find an empty man Deep inside me the hate is burning strong In the church, late at night, I do what is right for me I do what is right for me All my deeds and all my sins, I never will repent Now I belong to the shadow-world and my faith is at the end When I die I'll never go to rest I curse my spirit to this church, I'll never leave this earth I'll never leave this earth [Bridge 2:] And from my death I will return The afterlife could never hold me [Chorus x2] [whispered:] This true test of faith. When love turns to hate This true test of faith, this cross I bear a curse eternal When love turns to hate hollow be thy name, messiah in black I am This true test of faith, this cross I bear a curse eternal When love turns to hate hollow be thy name, messiah in black I am This true test of faith, this cross I bear a curse eternal When love turns to hate hollow be thy name, messiah in black I am [Chorus x2] [Chorus in background:] This true test of faith, this cross I bear a curse eternal When love turns to hate hollow be thy name, messiah in black I am Aus Songtexte Mania
