It's been announced but I could not believe Ignored the omens and the signs passing by The ravens fly around in a spiral Now it's too late... for me to repent I'm a medium in a clandestine mass Invoking your name I can feel it's my payback time Bring your knives to my chest The time has come to speak to the dead In a language unknown It's now or never again I let myself go A snake leaving trails in the sand With a mission of sin Trapped in the hourglass, the quicksand of time Where it all began I'm a medium in a clandestine mass Invoking your name I can feel it's my payback time Bring your knives to my chest The time has come to speak to the dead In a language unknown It's now or never again I let myself go It's the Word I write It's my ball and chain My nightmare It's the legacy of love and hate I speak to the dead Speak to the dead To the dead inside of you
