He once was a saint father
And this world was his monastery
Throughout the ages he suffered
This unsolved mystery
An act of punishment
A torn soul
When halos die
Possessor rises
Righteous fall
When halos die
An incarnation of a demon
Inside a torn shadow
An ancient soul that crawls
Inside a pure meadow
An act of punishment
A torn soul
When halos die
Possessor rises
Righteous fall
When halos die
"The path of the righteous man
Is beset on all sides
By the inequities
Of the selfish
And the tyranny of evil men.
Blessed is he who,
In the name of charity and good will,
Shepherds the weak
Through the valley of the darkness.
For he is truly his brother's keeper
And the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee
With great vengeance
And furious anger
Those who attempt
To poison
And destroy my brothers"
He became a devil in a human body
And this world was his hell
A dominion of a blind one
Or so the story tells
An act of punishment
A torn soul
When halos die
Possessor rises
Righteous fall
When halos die
