Prayer for the Prey Songtext
von Anubis

Follow the trail of slaughtered lambs
To the dwelling of the damned
Take the step, don′t be afraid
Of what lies within

But when the road breaks away
And the night devours the day
No one left to hear you pray
In the dark and cold

Your guide is gone without a trace
The beginning of the chase
As a dark and distant face
Shows it's eyes

He is the scourge of all the slain
Patron saint of the profane
And your failure is his gain
In this deadly maze


Deception burning in his eyes
From his lips, soothing lies
A preacher stalking for his prize
Will ensnare the stray

You′re sleeping in the serpent's jaws
Crawling straight into his claws
Falling to the tragic flaws
Of your kind

Don't follow the lights
That fade into the darkness
Don′t follow the devil
He′ll lead the lamb astray
Step into the night
In blood sport and blindness
Tonight you'll hear no final prayer
For the prey

Don′t listen to the creature's cries
He′s the devil in disguise
Flee and fear the dark demise
For your life


Don't follow the lights
That fade into the darkness
Don′t follow the devil
He'll lead the lamb astray
Step into the night
In blood sport and blindness
Tonight you'll hear no final prayer
For the prey

Come alive and follow me
Open up your eyes
Got to wake up far beyond this neverending nightmare

Will you fall into a dream
From reality
When you close your eyes you know you′ll never see the light again

Don′t follow the lights
That fade into the darkness
Don't follow the devil
He′ll lead the lamb astray
Step into the night
In blood sport and blindness
Tonight you'll hear no final prayer
For the prey
