Introduction by The Dark Horde Lyrics

I was once an avid believer in many things
I believed in love, in compassion, in hope
I even believed in a god watching lovingly over us
And that somewhere, within the mystery of it all
There was a special place for us

This inclination towards blind faith was strong in me
Stamped upon my DNA, cultivated through my upbringing
I was sheltered from the brutal reality of this world
Hidden from the horrible truths of our existence

The lucky among us remain shelterеd, shielded by ignorance
But I am not onе of those fortunate few
For nothing, perhaps not even death, can erase from my tortured mind
The far-reaching implications of what I now know
