I'm a demon down here in the eternal pit.
Flames, pain, Hell-wonder if you've ever heard of it.
Sabbath breakers and those so murderous-
where we're all sure to fit.
Find me with the zip code start learnin' it-
666 etched on my burnin' skin.
Down here it's oh so maddening-
never gonna get used to the way things are happening.
Left alone in the echo of the smoke I'm so sad I start to sing.

"As above so below that's the order of the ancient way.
Sin or pray to go through life- that's the price you pay."

After death I never thought I'd fail the human test,
and yet here I am branded with this devils crest across my very flesh.
I still say and stress God`s arbitrary rules got us all a mess-
no less do they say we all get laid to simply rest.
Forever never blessed- stuck still burning just like all the rest.

"As above so below thats the order of the ancient way.
Sin or pray to go through life- that's the price you pay"

Open up my eyes I see a gate so pearly.
Not a long line ahead i guess most just aint deserving.
I step inside my vision is so blurry.
Here stuck eternally I find this all so boring.
No point just joy so why am I still hurting?
I, like you, find this idea just so unerving.
Could it be the light of the star in the morning?-No it's too dark and early.
Personal thoughts inside my mind begin distorting.
Now i don't recall life-
all the years of pain all the tears of strife
cut from who I am like a damn omnipotent knife.
Was it even fucking worth it?
Now we in the clouds like a soulbound drug addiction keeping us from seeking purpose.
Somehow a small piece of me rejects this dope-state making me feel nervous.
We forget everone we ever knew.
Goddamn Godhand made our mental states askew.
Thinking back at the goddamn gates... I wish I'de never gotten through.

"As above so below that's the order of the ancient way.
Sin or pray to go through life- that's the price you pay."

Demonic Code

lurking in this wasteland
i’m more than a foot soldier
asked to take the jobs
my brethren don’t desire

demonic law is callous
more than tempting humans
you must be one with shadows
and avoid the light

don’t misunderstand my kind
it’s not that the day kills us
but to stay off the radar
night is truly our best bet

angels track us down
because the war continues
it’s a common misconception
that God lets us hunt freely

Lucifer is off limits
till Armageddon has taken place
unlike our great leader
we have bounties on our head

but where i differ
is i use my mind
it’s not all brawn
if you wanna survive

number one on the list
of the angelic mafia
they want me dead
but that will not happen

i’ve collected countless souls
i always fill my quota
spilled holy blood
all across the earth

i love clipping wings
i’m the headhunter
killing angelic soldiers
just for fun

you might ask yourself
why i would bother
we’re suppose to fall
well pride is a hunger

i’m a fucking death machine
it’s how i get off
and i’ll take many with me
before my time ends

and the glory
even if short lived
is to fight beside
my master, my lord

dedicated to my creed
and how Satan praises me
if i must perish
then i’ll do it on my own accord

i am a demon
and it’s my demonic code
in my wake
i shall fucking rip

ANGELIC


I am the angelic awareness
in all of mankind
If I had the choice
I`d never be born

Id swim to the moon
Make a halo in the skies
As insignificant people would be
Id be the sunset
Behind a tall tree

Life would not have to matter
O,to be a wandering spirit
Let light,let dark purify me
Cleanse my scars

O,to be weightless,freed from the
endless seas of mortality
Guided by the songs of the stars

Let light receed the darkness of your heart.

People don't despair, because no one is there.
When in fact, one is everywhere.
He is the light that chases your demons away.
He'll never abandon you when everyone else couldn't
Stay.
You say l hate me, but he says l love you.
Just reach out for me and I'll reach out too.
You fatten yourself up with the guilt and pain to which your soul bears the stain.
Yet you never even sample a taste of the abundance of forgiveness there is to gain.
So woe is you, because you refuse to believe what's true. You seek comfort from those who are woe is me too.
So as you lie in the vast darkness of despair,
Just flick the switch.
The light was always there.

The Messiah!
Yes I know what you've been told,
but my love for you will never grow old.
Some people hate me.
There are those who will try to debate me,
but if you want to believe in me
then prepare to be called crazy.
'Cause I'm the man who's here to take you higher.
You best believe baby, they call me the Messiah,
 
I'm the Messiah! Hmmm.
I'm the Messiah! Hmmm.
I'm the Messiahhh! Hmmm.
I'm here to take you higher. Hmmm.
Whoa, I'm the savior!
I'm here to save ya!
I'm the Messiah! Wooo, hoo, hooo!

I was born within a mangy, manger.
Before I opened my eyes, my life was full of danger.
I didn't even know what this life was all about.
Had evil king who wanted to take me out.
So my parents stashed me far away,
So I can preach the word some fine, sunny day. Hey!

I'm the Messiah! Hmmm.
I'm the Messiah! Hmmm.
I'm the Messiahhh! Hmmm.
I'm here to take you higher. Hmmm.
Whoa, I'm the savior!
I'm here to save ya!
I'm the Messiah! Wooo, hoo, hooo!

No other God can stand before my grace.
I told the devil to get up out my face.
So many people want to take my place,
But they fall to their knees once I give em a little taste
of my word, 'cause I'm  the Lord.
Whoa I'm the Messiah! Wooo, hoo, hooo!

I was betrayed by one of the ones I loved.
He didn't know, I knew who he was.
He didn't even realize he had a hand in destiny.
My destiny to be nailed to the cross on Calvary
and when I died, the ground it shook like thunder
I bet you then everyone began to wonder.
 
Was he the Messiah? Hmmm.
Is he the Messiah? Hmmm.
Yes I am the Messiahhh! Hmmm.
I'm here to take you higher. Hmmm.
Whoa, I'm the savior!
I'm here to save ya!
I'm the savior, who died for your sins.
I'm the savior who's here to take you higher 'cause
I'm the Messiah! Wooo, hoo, hooo!

See I descended
I wanted a friend
Not to be offended
Or played in the end

Blindly I trusted
Pouring out my heart
The one to which it was entrusted
Stabbed me in the back

My wings were broken
Never again will I fly
Hate-filled words were spoken
Left here with teary eyes

I always thought I would be appreciated
Unconditionally loved by all
Alas with me they were disgusted
They could'nt wait to see me fall

Down deep in the depths
There they casted their spell
Down there I wished for death
A permanent relief from hell

After a while the light shined in on me
Heaven remembered my pain
They looked hoping to see
But I was not there again

I became the prince of the dark
My vengeance came at night
One by one I took their hearts
Before the morning light

All of them will die
I care less about dominion
When angels are made to cry
They turn into a demon

- Queen of Demons -
Based on some of my past-life memories…

Mara was my name in a primordial cycle of time,
Queen of Demons they named me, most fearfully.
My faceless priests sang songs of me so sublime,
That: their music pierced even the veils of reality…
Whilst across their dead planet, my beauty shone.
I, in exile from domains beyond even their seeing,
Was, to them, a goddess beyond flesh and bone!
Before my divinity lesser gods were sent fleeing…
And my people loved me, as I did reign supreme.
The black armor I wore became their holy relic…
Which awakened in them my truths within dream.
Truths that sparked the inferno of divine conflict!

Maya was another of my names, and of illusion…
I created wisdom, in the hearts of my fallen flock.
A child of chaos was I, freeing many of delusion,
Before the count of days began upon the clock…
I recognized no power higher than my own glory.
My heart was jealous for the love of my kindred,
And from that madness a storm grew unto fury…
Until even gods did so fall: to sup, with the dead!
Though my forms changed through the centuries,
Still am I she, who roused rebel angels unto war!
Vowing to remain free, and to keep our liberties.
I was wanton, in a way, often playing the whore!

Embodying desire, becoming passion incarnate…
I brought the planet nearest Heaven to its’ doom.
Many were the gods, who embraced a dark fate,
When the flower of my light grew to a full bloom!
And now I am mortal, torn from severe heights…
Because of pride, jealousy, and passion so entire,
That I burned too hotly and knew Hell’s delights!
Now love is all I crave, with my passionate fire…
For even the Queen of Demons can crave peace.
Knowing this, I have achieved a kind of serenity,
Beautiful and terrible, yet also as pure as fleece…
And, in my own way, I shall reign for all eternity!

- Raven Angel -

No dreary midnight, is ever too beautifully dark,
For my blackest weary wings to find their rest in!
I am at home in the ebon folds, to which I hark,
For the twin of that darkness lies sweetly within.
Raven Angel some call me, and I find that ideal…
For even in the light of day, my shadows are cast.
There is a heaven within me, comforting and real,
And there is a hell, belonging to the distant past…
Which my memory conjures from ancient climes!
I am an enchantress, and my will flows with art…
Both magical, and mundane: since bygone times.
I work my spells, and the shadows do their part!

The cross upon my blouse symbolizes what was,
And the wings upon my sleeves are for what is…
The dreams that I carry to the morrow, because:
I am a fallen angel, who is in search of true bliss.
Black tights beneath my garments, like the night,
Upon my slender legs which have come so far…
Are in a contrast, to my intensely pale inner light.
More blinding is it, than the radiance of any star!
The tresses of my hair are like the sunless void…
Which lies, between worlds, across the heavens.
But my truest beauty lies far deeper, just inside…
With neither endings nor origins whence it stems.

My sandals have tread, upon paths uncounted…
And my skirt has brushed, against spirits unseen.
My eyes did behold visions that oft surrounded,
The world you see, far more than it might seem!
Raven Angel some call me, of the twilight realm,
For between light and darkness, there I do walk.
You may only know so much lest it overwhelm…
So listen raptly to my words whenever I do talk.
Love is my hope, and passion is ever my nature,
For I am a soul who craves joy and happiness…
Even in the shadows, where I restlessly may stir:
Before I spread my wings, a true dark mistress!

||To Hell With Me||

I'm a strange creature
Coming from who knows where
Breathing rust from the air
Wearing skin that can tear

A stone sits in my chest
And a smile on my face
I always do my best
To keep in my place

When I finally do break
Whatever day it might be
The world I hope to shake
And swallow in my tragedy

Maybe I can force it down
To travel with little o' me
The people of this suffocating town
Can come to hell with me

-Eamque Me Lamia-

The mist of death
Awaken, bereft
A god upon the slaughter
The sea of burning water
Entombed in sand
By beasts of man
There’s laughter in the darkness
Eager to embrace the madness

The suffering
Of fallen kings
Lucifer in the roses
Locked out when the door closes
Crooked crosses
No one’s losses
The thorns, they drip with venom
They are calling forth all demons

“Rise, the darkness
Eternal sadness
Lilith beckons me
With webs of
Pleasure and madness

Rise, the murder
Of crows and martyrs
Lilith beckons me
With webs of
Tortures that I adore”


The lightning strikes
Across the skies
Shaking when the Earth rumbles
But still Cthulhu slumbers
Falling angels
Become fables
Once they seemed to be heroes
But now they are total zeros

“Rise, the darkness
Eternal sadness
Lilith beckons me
With webs of
Pleasure and madness

Rise, the murder
Of crows and martyrs
Lilith beckons me
With webs of
Tortures that I adore”


Harbingers gather in stormy weather
Casting phantasms into the night
Dragging the chains of tragedy and pain
The lightning flashes a blinding light
Madness ensues, gods blowing a fuse
Innocents led to where dead things bite
Circles of spells giving wonders of Hell
Thunder rumbles, the raven takes flight

“Surgant, et tenebrae
Sadnes aeternam
Eamque me Lamia
Cum telas
Delectatio autem et dementia

Surgant, caedem
Corui et martyres
Eamque me Lamia
Cum telas
Qui cruciat adoro”


The bloody water of endless slaughter
Divine temper tantrums when storms blow
The howling moon foretelling of the doom
She’s beautiful in her haunting glow
Kali’s embrace of poison and lace
Grounds shake and the lava rivers flow
Apocalyptic when divas throw fits
Lucifer’s laughing, watching the show

“Rise, the darkness
Eternal sadness
Lilith beckons me
With webs of
Pleasure and madness

Rise, the murder
Of crows and martyrs
Lilith beckons me
With webs of
Tortures that I adore”


See the madness in those eyes
Screaming, right before you die

“Surgant, et tenebrae
Sadnes aeternam
Eamque me Lamia
Cum telas
Delectatio autem et dementia

Surgant, caedem
Corui et martyres
Eamque me Lamia
Cum telas
Qui cruciat adoro”

...rise


...eternal sadness


...Lilith beckons


.....with webs of pleasure and madness

Hell's Sire

The day I met you my heart was happy and bright
I could see around you a beam of heaven's light
My heart told you were an angel from above
How could I help myself one look I was in love

I thought we'd be so happy just you and me
And together in love the two of us would be
But as you came in you took over my mind
And slowly and painfully I came to find

Though I thought I saw heaven in your eyes
I know that from your mouth comes only lies
You take everything that I say all I tell you
You make it be something I never meant it to

I still think you are an angel now I know what kind
You did not come from heaven you break my heart I find
The light I saw around you I thought was heaven's glow
But now when I look in your eyes one thing I know

With each day that passes you have made me see
Heaven a life spent loving you  that will never be
It was not heaven's light no what I saw was hell's sire
And with just one look you threw me into a burning fire
