[1th Voice]
[1th V.]
Call my name and I'll be there
To serve your majesty everywhere
No instruction is too much for me
Execute his order, like in a bad dream
Ahhhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahh
Ahhhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahh

There's no use to run and hide
For his eyes are open wide
And when he finds you
Those eyes will burn into your soul

I sold my life, without thinking' twice
But instead of fortune he gave me lies
I'm facing hell to eternity
The only way out is suicide for me
Ahhhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahh
Ahhhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahh

There's no use to run and hide
For his eyes are open wide
And when he finds you
Those eyes will burn into your soul
