Lyrics The Thing Within - Deathrow

The Thing Within

Night after night, the same thing happens
Something takes over my soul
I try to resist, but I’ve got no chance
Again I lose and it wins
Emptiness fills my body
My eyes see things which cannot be
Am I insane or is this a dream?
I am no longer me
A strange feeling grips my mind
A growing need to kill
It comes out of the nothingness
And possesses my will
Orders start rushing through my brain
To kill everything in sight
I feel it’s diabolic lust
To slay with delight
My body is lead through empty streets
By the invisible force
I hide in the shadows, smell every being
Unheared of instincts awake
I’m like a puppet, guided by strings
Filled with the breath of life
Pliable I’ll obey my master
Will feel no remorse
A strange feeling grips my mind
A growing need to kill
It comes out of the nothingness
And possesses my will
Orders start rushing through my brain
To kill everything in sight
I feel it’s diabolic lust
To slay with delight
Now the thing totally unfolds
Making me it’s slave
Want to look for harmless victims
To send them to their graves
The order are clear, I will obey
-Kill everything in sight
Hungry for the smell of blood
I will slay with delight
Morning light is falling, on my sweaty face
I open my eyes
My clothes are torn to pieces, dry blood everywhere
What have I done?
I look on the clock, already afternoon
I know it will happen again
Again !
— It will happen to me
Again !
— The thing won’t set me free
Again !
— I will obey
Again !
— The thing will be my fate
