I stumbled out into the cold
Below a thoughtless moon
I saw the phantoms of my friends
But they were gone too soon
Then from the trees my enemies
Began to shout and shriek
Until a silence overwhelmed them
And I began to speak
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty sound
They've come before and many more will try to strike me down
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty roar
And if you make it out alive
The devil will be waiting by your door
I met a stranger on my way from here
To god knows where
He won my lover in a dirty game of solitaire
He stole my crown and placed it crookedly upon his head
He turned around, I took him down, and this is what I said
Hear my battle cry hear that mighty sound
They've come before and many more will try to strike me down
Hear my battle cry hear that mighty roar
And if you make it out alive
The devil will be waiting by your door
You'll sacrifice the truth to justify your sins
But I don't need an excuse to let the darkness in
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty sound
They've come before and many more will try to strike me down
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty roar
And if you make it out alive
The devil will be waiting by your door
