It seemed that out the battle  I escaped Walking down  The stairs of the burning tower    [Chorus:]  By the vision of a thousand pains  I realized the truth  On a throne made of broken wings  The evil sings his dark prophecy    In the mourning, I've drawn  Back the path of hope  And see the sordid destiny  Of a million children    In the crimson venom of their father  A million children baptized  And creeping for eternity in pain    [chorus]
