Pay Your Dues

Open the gate, it's never too late, you can't stop before you begin,
A bringer of death, dependent on fear, the reaper is rising again,
You can't hide forever or you'll be a slave; a prisoner
To the deal with the devil you've made,
The master of evil has called you to pay or sleep
With the rats in your grave,

You'll meet your fate upon the path you can't
Evade, the father calls your name and you can't turn away
Rise above; confront your doom, coming forth beyond the tomb,
Fate controlling all you do, now the time has come to pay your dues
The hour has come; the stone has been cast
By the dark lord, deceiver of men

The nails are driven for the sins of your past
The piper is pulling the strings,
A ritual of time as the stories have read
In the eye of the monster the coven is led,
Fate is the redeemer for what you have said
But vengeance won't bring back the dead
The new disciples of temptation call your name
They take your soul of priceless gold you can't reclaim
