The quicksand of hatred has swept him away
Off to a land in the sky
A magical vision to worship and pray
Something to make them all blind
Voices they echo around in the wind
Saying "you're one of a kind
The others deny you and lead you astray
Playing around with your mind"
Feeling so grand in his mighty domain
With all the power to make you the same
He took the world into his hands
He took the world of the next man
The blackened light would leave no trace
The blackened light hiding disgrace
He took the world, he took the land
He took the world
So witness the truth now the damage is done
Silence has branded you gone
The fathers' own evil is passed to the son
Although the line has been drawn
Now out of the dark it will rise and will fall
Leaving the demons behind
The promise now broken, and bound from it all
Trying to choose for mankind
Raising his hand in this mighty domain
Trying the best just to make you insane
He took the world into his hands
He took the world of the next man
The blackened light would leave no trace
The blackened light hiding disgrace
He took the world into his hands
He took the world and he gave his command
The blackened light would leave no trace
The blackened light that would hide the disgrace
He took the world
I guess the damage is done
Now he's raising his hand in this mighty domain
Trying the best just to make you insane
All of the people are playing his game
He took the world into his hands
He took the world of the next man
The blackened light would leave no trace
The blackened light hiding disgrace
So he took the world into his hands
He took the world of the next man
The blackened light would leave no trace
The blackened light hiding disgrace
So he took the world into his hands
He took the world and he gave his command
The blackened light, would leave no trace
The blackened light that would hide the disgrace
He took the world
