For centuries it was foretold a time would come
when one would rise to lead mankind
one to redeem the world when all is said and done
how could they ever be so blind?
yet there's no one to shine a light to guide the blind
into the mouth of hell they march
there's no escape or coming back a second time
there lies great evil in the dark

every man shall stand alone, not knowing the pain
or sacrifice that it will take, they're going
into the dark, into the pain, into the underworld
where evil is thy name
the evil one shall put each man unto the test
and strike such fear within their eyes
yet there's no saviour like the prophets had professed
they will be left alone to die

every man shall stand alone, not knowing the pain
or sacrifice that it will take, they're going
every man shall stand alone, not knowing the pain
or sacrifice that it will take, they're going
