Æther Realm - The Devil

Your obsession will swallow you whole

The chill of death clings heavy And the stench of blood still strong Can the gnawing guilt of your blunder Drive you to face the devil you spawned?

His pallid skin hangs loosely With a chaos in his wake A harbinger 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

It 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, the ritual performed 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 the call

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 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?
