I Am Condemned

I am condemned
For justly serving God
As you decree I do

I am condemned
For vanquishing all those
Who would have conquered you

But as I return from my bloody campaign
You make treason my deadly reward
You cowards dare to treat me with disdain
For the way those men died by my sword

(Dies irae, dies irae, dies irae)

I am condemned
But reject what you cowards proclaim
As you hide behind God's holy name
Playing the game only hypocrites choose
To hide your shame in selfless blame

I am condemned
I will descend into the depths of hell
Never to leave again
My life will end
But I will rise to claim lives of mortal men
I summon the forces of all you despise
To avenge the great name of dracul
To make me immortal as my love dies
And to give me hell's legions to rule
My living death is my self-imposed curse
To commence my unholy crusade
Eternal existence of night I traverse
In vengeance for being betrayed

I am condemned
To exist in devil's domain
No more love in my heart will remain
Never again will I be so deceived
I relieve my pain
I am profaned

I am condemned
To think that I believed it due
That I could serve my country true
Your holy cause
But I no longer fight for kings
The pious men with papal rings
And bloody wars
I challenge the holy to one holy conflict
I declare war between heaven and hell
The blood of the living shall be my reward
For serving my master so well

I am condemned
To exist on the blood in their veins
For the blood is the life that sustains
Unholy creatures of darkness
Who dwell in hell's domain
Where satan reigns

I am condemned
You are condemned
I am condemned
