Dream Theater - In the Presence of Enemies: The Heretic and The Dark Master lyrics

I saw a white light shining there before me
And walking to it, I waited for the end
A final vision promising salvation
A resurrection for a fallen man

Do you still wait for your God
And the symbol of your faith?

I can free you from this Hell and misery
You should never be ashamed, my son
I can give you power beyond anything
Trust me you will be the chosen one

I was forgotten, a body scorned and broken
My soul rejected, tainted by his blood
Beyond redemption, a sinner not worth saving
Forever taken from the onе I loved

Do I still wait for my God
And a symbol of my faith?



I can lead you down the path and back to lifе
All I ask is that you worship me
I can help you seek revenge and save yourself
Give you life for all eternity

Servants of the fallen fight to pave the way
For their savior's calling on this wicked day
Through a veil of madness
With a vicious blade
One man rises up, standing in their way

Redemption redemption for humanity!

Welcome tired pilgrim into the circle
We have been waiting
Everyone's gathered for your arrival
All the believers

Angels fall all for you, heretic
Demon heart, bleed for us!

I've been waiting for you weary preacher man
You have been expected now we can begin

Let this hallowed day of Judgment reign

I have known you father
And your sacred quest
Blessed soldier fighting
You shall never rest

I have known you but do you know me?

Angels fall all for you, heretic
Demon heart, bleed for us!

My soul is yours, Dark Master!
I will fight for you!

Dark Master within, I will fight for you
Dark Master of sin, now my soul is yours
Dark Master, my guide, I will die for you
Dark Master inside!

I cannot see his face
But, I could feel his spite
A presence from the dead
Abandoned by the light

This shadow will consume him from within

This power that I sense
The rage behind those eyes
Is just a shrouded ghost
A spirit sealed inside

The body and the soul both threats
For they are one!

Angels fall all for you, heretic
Demon heart, bleed for us!

My soul is yours, Dark Master!
I will fight for you!

Dark Master within, I will fight for you
Dark Master of sin, now my soul is yours
Dark Master, my guide, I will die for you
Dark Master inside!

Dark Master, amen i belong to you!
Dark Master within

Don't bother, trying to find them
They will be coming to you
Fight, fight and destroy until
You can't take anymore!

Slay, spill the blood of the rebels
They are the children of Hell
Flesh of the undead
Stopping at nothing to kill

Sin, caught in a moment of weakness
Committed the greatest of all
Sold half of my soul and now
It's too late for you

I judge as my eyes see i judge and I am just
For I speak of the beast
That lives in all of us

Unwelcome ones your time has come!

Lord, you are my god and my shepherd
Nothing more shall I want
Walk through the abyss
Into the shadow of death

Fear, there is no evil to fear now
For I know you are with me my cup overflows
With my enemy's blood

I decay in the house of the Lord
Forever amen death will follow me
All the days of my life

I judge as my eyes see i judge and I am just
For I speak of the beast
That lives in all of us

Unwelcome ones your time has come!

Servants of the fallen fight to pave the way
For their savior's calling on this wicked day
Through a veil of madness
With a vicious blade
One man rises up, standing in their way

It's time for your reckoning!

My soul grows weaker he knows and he wait's
He watches over me
Standing at the infernal gates

In the hour of darkness
The moment I feared has passed
The moment I lost my faith
Promising salvation

My soul is my own now!
I do not fight for you, Dark Master!
