"Behemoth" lyrics

I met Death in my youth
He claimed me as his son
He echoes in my mind
Reminds me what I've done

The memories made me believe
Escape was never a path for me
I met Death in my youth
He called me the beloved one

Fearful of waking the giant
Destined to be the behemoth

Hushed cries suppressed by torment they cannot see
Blind eyes turned by those who should have protected me
If I held the world in my hands would the ache leave
Dug deep into dirt that's filled with hate
Death will fear me

I had to suffocate to stop the suffering
I had to suffocate to stop the suffering
I had to suffocate to stop the suffering

Death will fear me
Death will fear me

No more false identity (No more)
No more misplaced priorities (No more)
No more death in the family (No more)
It ends with me

My legacy won't be one of shame and silence
Or hate and violence
Hate and violence

Your curse won't seal my fate
But it cost you everything
Yeah

Your curse won't seal my fate
My resolve was deafening
