Possessor of Evil

about

So much irked us about this song initially. The land in from track one didn't do the song justice, the vocals took far too long to show themselves, the missing vocal line at the end of the song had the harmony fall flat, and, what will be a theme across the tracks, the lyrics were pretty dire in spots. With a more dramatic performance across the board, this is one of the bigger transformations. That said, we had a soft spot for the original intro, so we kept that in :)

lyrics

To serve in heaven or to rule with wrath 'til end of days
To save the earth or rule the world in a sacred fiery blaze
In the kingdom of the saints I kneel to with hatred in my eyes
It's time to scorch the clouds on blackened wings
It's into hell I ride

Into the territory of the damned where every hope is lost
With sword in hand I cannot die I will survive at any cost
The seas and oceans part in two and I let the blood shed feed my will
The sand in desert plains are coffins
To the mortals I shall kill

Feel hatred; feel insane
With an iron fist I reign
As you cower in fear
Look in my eyes you will see
Hollowed Gaia pulling strings
Twist the wrist, you disappear

I am the envy inside you
I'm the foreclosure of pain
I am the falling of paradise
Possessor of Evil; for hell I shall kill once again

Hypnotised by flying evil unholy feathers in sacred skies
Demons rage unto this earth as Damien and Lucifer rise
Humans running terrified, their frantic screams encircling the air
The Xanadu of humanity falls
To the broken maw of Abbadon's abyssal stare

Feel hatred; feel insane
With an iron fist I reign
As you cower in fear
Look in my eyes you will see
Hollowed Gaia pulling strings
Twist the wrist, you disappear

I am the envy inside you
I'm the foreclosure of pain
I am the falling of paradise
Possessor of Evil; for hell I shall kill once again

I will taste your blood
I will seek revenge
I will taint your heart
I can dim the light
I can see the end
I shall leave your body to rot

The planet descends
On judgement's day
As Terra and Abel are left to die
Where is the vengeance now
You promised to strike on me?
Now recoil in horror as you watch the underworld erase the skies

I am the envy inside you
I'm the foreclosure of pain
I am the falling of paradise
Possessor of Evil; for hell I shall kill once again
The first born of Adam has fallen
The stars of Orion descend
The four horsemen ride as the planets collide
This Earth burnt to cinders is mine
