///*****/// [Deep Male Vocals] [Start] [Dark Orchestral Introduction] [Spoken Word, raspy, brooding] "Man is neither angel nor beast, and the misery is that he who would act the angel acts the beast." [Verse 1, brooding] You see a smile spread across my face A polished halo, bright as the pearly gates You see the calm But not the storm within You don't hear the screams From the demons I let in [Pre-Chorus] Every prayer is just a curse held back Every breath I take turns my soul to black [Chorus, soaring orchestral metal, massive, emotional] Come closer Take a deeper look within You'll see a soul Born from innocence and sin You'll find a wicked mind Drowning in lust Now the Devil’s voice Is the only one I trust [Hook, spoken-sung, ethereal] Behind pearly eyes hides an immoral spirit Once a pure child, their vile seed now resides in it A shining truth dressed up in lies A wretched man in a holy disguise [Verse 2, darker, controlled] I walk with grace like heaven's cherubim But these knees will never bow to Him Scriptures burn when I speak His name An inferno waits for me When the Devil stakes his claim [Pre-Chorus] The saints would recoil if they tasted my soul I am evil incarnate, barely keeping control [Chorus, soaring orchestral metal, massive, emotional] Come closer Take a deeper look within You'll see a soul Born from innocence and sin You'll find a wicked mind Drowning in lust Now the Devil’s voice Is the only one I trust [Instrumental Break – dark orchestral metal fusion] [Bridge, whispered, labored] Inside, they start to circle As the feast draws near Ready to tear me asunder Their howls bellow in my ears Outside, I rejoice And play their pious game I’m not the man you once knew I'm the one that answers When Hell calls my name [Final Chorus, soaring orchestral metal, massive choir, full cinematic lift] Come closer Take a deeper look within You'll see a soul Born from innocence and sin You'll find a wicked mind Drowning in lust Now the Devil’s voice Is the only one I trust [Tag, half-spoken, half-sung, dark, labored, intimate] "So say your prayers—don’t look too close" "The purest ones" "Are the ones that sin the most" "I was born from innocence" "I was thrust into sin" "But I'm the one who opened the door" [Whisper FX] "When the Devil said" "Let me in" [Powerful Metal Arrangement and Orchestra Fusion] [End]
