The One Who Waits lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was a bishop of the Old Faith
I was a ruler and a god, now held by chains
In disgrace, I'll bide my time, I'll wait
You'll be an avatar to free me
You were a victim hunted down, last of your race
At the gates of hell you'll face your fate

[Verse 1]
I'm just a little guy
I don't wanna die
Get sacrificed
Ba-da, ba, ba-da-da
The prophecy says I'm the one they want
So if it's time to die

[Chorus]
Come closer to me
I still have need for you, have no fear
Tied up in chains, I'm in the land of the dead
But you're here at my side now
Back to the world above now
To fight in the name of The One Who Waits

[Verse 2]
Growing stronger from the worship
For the slaughter of the gods, I'm in their grip
With your sword, your ranks will grow, bring me more
Kill the bishops one by one (Now I'm having so much fun)
From their blood I'll rise again (I'm making friends)
We'll build a church of the damned
The One Who Waits now demands
[Chorus]
Go further for me
You've made them bleed, you're the one they fear
Build a new world upon the bones of the dead
With you here at my side now
Conquer the ones above now
The world will know my name

[Bridge]
Return the crown
And embrace the end
With this sacrifice, I will be freed
Approach the altar
And lay down your life at my feet

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you tell me why I should have to die?
Get sacrificed when I'm the stronger one?
(Betray me now and face the wrath of Death itself)
Now it's your time to die

[Chorus]
Come closer to me
It's time to slaughter the Lamb at last
Freed you from chains, I'll put you back in the ground
Blinded by greed, the foolish idol has come to die
Holding a sword against the strength of a god
But the vessel is stronger
Back to the world above now
To serve as one of the cult of the Lamb
