Monster in Me - Mors Principium Est

By the burning of my candle in the night I lie awake

And try to drown my bitter thoughts, as my memories, I forsake

They warp their vines around my neck, my blinded eyes now see

The cold dead eyes of those I’ve killed staring back, staring back at me As the ember of my candle fades into the light

My mind awakens in the dark and plagues the morning night

I feel my life forsake me for at my hand they fell

And now they’ve come to take me, and leave me in this hell

And now they’ve come to take me, and leave me in this hell

The dead are watching me, I can’t forget

The horrors of what I’ve seen plagued with regret

Their bodies lying in the snow, the memory haunts me But I can’t, can’t let them go, can’t let them go I burn in the torment of what I have done

And look at the monster that I have become

Haunted by voices, forever in me

I’m never alone, but never I’m free

I burn in the torment of what I have done

And look at the monster that I have become

Haunted by voices, forever in me

I’m never alone, but never I’m free

The dead are watching me, I can’t forget

The horrors of what I’ve seen plagued with regret

Their bodies lying in the snow, the memory haunts me But I can’t, can’t let them go, can’t let them go I burn in the torment of what I have done

And look at the monster that I have become

Haunted by voices, forever in me

I’m never alone, but never I’m free

I burn in the torment of what I have done

And look at the monster that I have become

Haunted by voices, forever in me

I’m never alone, but never I’m free
