Iced Earth

Do you believe in love?
do you believe in destiny?
true love may come only once in a thousand lifetimes...
i too have loved...they took her from me.
i prayed for her soul....i prayed for her peace
When i close my eyes
i see her face, it comforts me
when i close my eyes
memories cut like a knife
The blood is the life, and christ i defy.
my sworn enemy...birth of a new creed.
Is this my reward for serving god's own war?
the blood i've spilled for faith fulfilled.
to damn her, a disgrace, you spit back in my face.
i served you loyally, and you spew blasphemy.
I avenge with darkness, the blood is the life
the order of the dragon, i feed on human life
There are far worse things awaiting man than death
come taste what i have seen
i'm spreading my disease
i will feed upon his precious child
the human race will bleed, they will serve my need.
[pre-chorus]
i avenge with darkness, the blood is the life
the order of the dragon, i feed on human life
[chorus]
i am the dragon of blood, a relentless prince of pain
renouncing god on his throne
my blood is forever stained
For true love i shall avenge
i defy the creed that damned her
