The Outsider lyrics

I dwell amongst the crypts of death Sunlight forsakes my castle Can't measure time nor how I look See the world through molded books To walk among the living To scale the tower and glimpse the sky A final chance at life or let me die Scaling rock Ascending stone I see the door to human sound Entrance to earth I now emerge from under the solid ground Wretched am I Call me the stranger Bearing this lot to serve the gloom Call me the one I am the outsider Is this a blessing of fated doom Braving through the black of night The fruits of yearning bewitch me A window burns light from its sill Revelers aloud with good will My entrance saw fear, despair Eyes escaping some nightmare I tremble at the thought of what lurks near A doorway arch A similar room The ghoulish decay awaits A voiceless beast Bone chilling stare Will death be the final fate Fending off what I saw Outstretched hands meet outstretched claws Now I know this rotting brute I must now accept the truth I am the stranger to gods and to man Fated to never be seen again Abomination to the social class When my outstretched hands touched polished glass
