The Devil

Your Obsession will swallow you whole The Chill of Death clings heavy And the Stench of Blood still strong Can the Gnawing of Guilt of your Blunder Drive you to Face the Devil you spawned? His pallid Skin hangs loosely, With a Chaos in his Wake A Harbringer of Sorrow, Fear, Of Pestilence and Plague So whether you will survive, will be for you to decide Can you break the Cycle of Madness Festering deep inside of your Mind? You can read the Scrolls and consult the Tomes That the ancient Ones laid down And you may find a Way to sever the Bond Or you may find the Solution's Only total self Annihilation This will cause your Name to mean Traitor And the Accusation rings True You see, you blindly lusted for Power And then you gave the Devil his Due The Circle drawn, the Blood released That Ritual performed And then the Awe replaced by Horror As you beheld the terrible Form So when the Smoke begins to rise Over Ashes of your Kind It's only then you'll know the Cost Reach inside, expose it all to the Light This Task won't fulfill you, It might even kill you But the Choosing is easy If you don't have a Choice It's time, to kneel to the Floor And savor that last sweet Breath As you're sharpening the Blade You will use to extinguish the Inferno made Flesh All it took was a Drop of your Blood And it was summoned from the fiery Plane But you know the Incantation weakens over time, You only have yourself to blame To send it back from whence it came You will bleed yourself until you're barely clinging onto Life Not enough, you're gonna need another Pint So draw your Sigil, thumb the Blade now meant for you In your Heart you've always known what you must do Raise that Knife above your Head and drive it down So twist the Knife into my Side, it's through that Pain I feel alive I want the World to know I threw it all away He to the World appeared to die But in his Heart he felt divine He wants the World to know To heed to the Call You feel the Fear consume you cold as Ice A wretched Token of your Sacrifice Bind your Souls and cast them down To save your Kind before you find Why should I cast my Soul away for a World that never cared for me?
