[Verse 1] Silence lingers through the moonlight Darkness follows you through the night You hear steps, but nobody is in sight The demons closing in, are you ready for a fight No mercy, just vengeance and fear Step too close, only I will be leaving here Blood soaked through my clothes, like a warrior in the dark Eyes hollow, from the lives I’ve torn apart [Chorus] I’ve got an evil running through my head I can only cull it by bringing it the dead So I rise from the darkness with a fire in my chest For I am the Collector, here to put your souls to rest [Verse 2] Whispers in the wind when the midnight bell rings Shadows on the wall start to crawl like living things Heartbeat pounding louder than the echo of the rain Every single soul I take quiets down the pain Footsteps in the alley where the streetlights flicker slow Everywhere I wander is a place you shouldn’t go Hands shaking slightly but the blade is steady still Another soul collected just to satisfy the will [Chorus] I’ve got an evil running through my head I can only cull it by bringing it the dead So I rise from the darkness with a fire in my chest For I am the Collector, here to put your souls to rest [Verse 3] Cold breath drifting in the pale cemetery air Names carved in the stone but the silence isn’t fair Every spirit whispers like they’re begging for release But the hunger in my mind never offers any peace Sirens in the distance but they never find the trail Just another nightmare buried deep inside the tale If you see me coming better pray your soul can flee Because once I start the harvest you belong to me [Bridge] Hear the voices calling from the pit below Every name I take only makes it grow No redemption waiting where the shadows creep Only endless hunger that will never sleep [Final Chorus] I’ve got an evil running through my head I can only cull it by bringing it the dead From the graveyard gates to the final breath I am the Collector — architect of death
