Join me on this, wicked journey
Delving through lore, and prophecy
To unravel, the mystery
Identify Adversary
Long ago, it has been told, the hosts would bow, before mankind, but
There was one, who would refuse, and thus deny, his maker and be
Cast, from high
Fall, hurling from the sky
Shunned, denied
Condemned, stripped of all glory
Cursed to roam, this wretched soil, given the earth, as his domain, and
To be named, tempter of old, seducer and accuser of all man
To become the face of corruption
Embodiment of malice and pain
Method of control by the holy
The ultimate play on all your fears
“Come unto me, you will serve
Come unto me, you are damned
And unto me you will bow
Eternally at my command!”
Devil, Satan, or Lucifer? Azazel, Ba’al, or Ben-Sahar?
Iblis, being of smokeless fire, ruler of Jinn, or Mastema?
For centuries, shrouded in fear, quiet aversion, anathema
Or the power (of) belief in self? Subject to no god, king, or man
Own desires, labeled as vile, cast off those chains, embrace thy will
Saved in damnation!
