Belphegor

[intro] [Verse 1] In the depths where gold ignites, Shadow crowned in hellfire light, Whispered pacts in tongues unseen, You are the architect of greed. [interlude] [Verse 2] Silver tongue and hollow eyes, Deals are struck 'neath bleeding skies, Mortal fools bow at your throne, Flesh and coin—your creed is sown. [Bridge] "Sloth and splendour, twin-born sin..." "I am the void where dreams begin..." [Chorus] BELPHEGOR! The furnace breathes your name, BELPHEGOR! Wealth and ruin are the same, Through the cracks of human shame, We invoke your sacred flame! [Refrain] "Luxury and decay! Gold will rust and flesh will fray!" [interlude] [Verse 3] Temples rise from bankrupt bones, Your sigil carved in dying groans, Avarice feeds your blackened wings, While the beggar's choir sings. [Verse 4] No salvation, no reprieve, Only contracts we deceive, You laugh loud as empires fall, The patron saint of *nothing at all*. [Bridge] "Sloth and splendour, twin-born sin..." "I am the void where dreams begin..." [Chorus] BELPHEGOR! The furnace breathes your name, BELPHEGOR! Wealth and ruin are the same, Through the cracks of human shame, We invoke your sacred flame! [interlude] [Refrain) "Luxury and decay! Gold will rust and flesh will fray!" [Refrain) "Luxury and decay! Gold will rust and flesh will fray!" **[Outro]** "Sign here... in blood..."
