[Verse I] Nothing you say will change my fate, For I was forged within the shade. My eyes have turned from mortal light, And mercy is a debt unpaid. Place no hope in one like me— This hand was made for crueler deeds. The abyss has claimed its throne inside, And left only darkness in its wake. [Pre-Chorus] Too deep within this chest of stone, No gentle light can ever break. The winter of my weary soul Has frozen every hope awake. [Chorus] I am grim. I am Hell indeed. A cursed root, A bitter seed. Too deep within my heart it lies, Where no true smile has ever been. Leave me now and turn away— I remain forever wild and grim. [Verse II] The ravens know my shadowed name, The wind still carries my endless cry. No priest, no king can ransom me, Nor teach these bones the grace to die. My oath was forged in blackened flame, My soul in iron chains concealed. What once was flesh is now cold stone; No wound I bear will ever heal. [Bridge] Blow, wild storms, with thundering voice. Ring, mournful bells, for all the lost. Though Heaven bars her golden gate, I will not answer—come what cost. [Final Chorus] I am grim. I am Hell indeed. The night my crown, Despair my creed. Too deep within my heart it lies, Where hope has never learned to smile. So I walk on till time is done— Forsaken... dark... and wild.
