Disturbed - Old Friend Lyrics

They are the ghosts of innocence
That have awoken from my dreams
Welcome to your nightmare
Say goodbye to everything

All your past obscenities
They have determined where I stand
Echoing cries in the time that it began

Hear me now, feel my plea
There is no more time for apologies
Never let emotions take hold of me
Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side?
Death is an old friend of mine

You can't escape your judgment
I hear them calling out your name
Do not beg for mercy now
You never showed any to them

Embrace your final punishment
There's not a soul to hear you scream
I have to thank you
For letting out the animal in me

Hear me now, feel my plea
There is no more time for apologies
Never let emotions take hold of me
Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side?
Death is an old friend of mine

The blood became alive
When I was trapped inside
And I can feel
The dark passenger coming

My mother's blood and mine
Uniquely intertwined
Help me father put your memory
From my mind

My hunger to destroy
When I was just a boy
It pulled me deeper
Into something that I now enjoy

The ritual begins
Evil will meet it's end
In your destruction
I will finally feel whole again

There is no more time for apologies
Never let emotions take hold of me
Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side?
Death is an old friend of mine

I have become your nightmare
Say goodbye to every thing
