Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cursed
Black magic night
We've been struck down
Down in this hell
Spells surround me day and night
Stricken by the force of evil light
The force of evil light
[Verse 2]
Cast
Under his spell
Blinding my eyes
Twisting my mind
Fight to resist the evil inside
Captive of a force of Satan's might
A force of Satan's might
[Verse 3]
Fighting the curse
Break it I must
Laughing in sorrow
Crying in lust
[Instrumental]
Lead: King
[Verse 4]
My strength slips fast
Soon I must fall
Victim of fortune
My sources grow small
Life slips away
As demons come forth
Death takes my hand
And captures my soul
[Instrumental]
Lead: Hanneman
Lead: King
Written by: Jeff Hanneman, Kerry King
