Old Friend lyrics - Disturbed

They are the ghosts of innocence

That have awoken from my dreams

Welcome to your nightmare

Say good-bye 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 blade

There is no more time for apologies

Malevolent 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 blade

There is no more time for apologies

Malevolent 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 calling me

My mother's blood and mine

Uniquely intertwined

Help me, Father, purge the 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 its end

In your destruction I will finally feel whole again

There is no more time for apologies (There is no more time for apologies)

Malevolent emotions (Malevolent emotions)

Take hold of me (Take hold of me)

Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side?

(Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side?)

Death is an old friend of mine

I have become your nightmare

Say good-bye to every thing
