"This was Devin’s design and he wouldn’t stop until every living person on earth had killed each other or themselves. The demons appeared and began to help this come to fruition. The three of them cast an aura around the entire planet and in a few short hours brought humanity to it’s inevitable demise. “Their souls are yours to command now” the demon calmly told Devin. “This is what we had planned for you all along. It was just a matter of time before you gave in.”
It seemed as though the man Devin once was or could have been was gone entirely. A young, timid man who had lost all hope in a cruel world had become the one to end it, to retaliate. He had truly risen up from the ashes and the trees and become humanity’s greatest nightmare."
Where do we go when we die,
do we fade away or follow the light,
do we disappear from memory or mind?
Do you feel me feeding on your mind,
possessed, obsessed, tearing my way inside.
This is where your journey ends and mine begins.
Tear out your own heart and eyes for your sins.
Kill the ones you love if you are innocent.
To restore this world to a state of peace,
I must erase everything that lives and breathes.
The human race, corrupt from greed and hate will fall.
I cannot end the world but I can end you all...
Cast your gaze to the blackened sky,
nightmares made flesh before your eyes.
On this night, the whole world dies.
