The Devil I Know

Cold and empty His essence malign This absence of light Casts out and condemns... God's will His soul, his essence Lives inside us This wretched mark Has stained our souls... Forever Through us his war is won Victorious over God and his son Persuasive and dominant his presence Shall break the strongest of wills The devout can't endure his storms Grant passage into our world His shadow will consume and feed Upon your blessed trinity Cripple and erase it's curse Bring upon the end of faith Until your savior comes again To prove his death is not his end He'll come alive through our beliefs We hear his laughter through our tears His cries of glory as we stray from the light Defeated and shamed, chastised and silent Angels, and Saints, and God forgotten The path to heaven ends at conception Our souls will fall far below the clouds Through us his war is won Victorious over God and his son Persuasive and dominant his presence Shall break the strongest of wills The devout can't endure his storms Grant passage into our world
