A man is murdered and given the opportunity to enact revenge on his killers, yet finds that his hatred has locked him into eternal servitude with the Devil.
lyrics
"I am the Devil, and I am here to do the Devil's work"
Once upon a pale moon rising.
Ere return my loathsome waiting.
Once again a black moon frightening.
It begins, they lie in hiding.
Now appears a hooded stranger.
Knife brandished, purpose unknown.
One foul blow my life is ended.
Pact between the devil and I.
Give me strength to slay my foes.
My life for revenge, anger, hatred.
Devotee towards pain and hate.
I'll end it all just give me this.
Armed with possession, all die by my hand.
When my blade drips with blood, this is only the start.
When wrath brings damnation, Eternally mine.
When all has been done and my purpose fulfilled.
I turn my knife inward, I'm ready for rest.
Yet all that I find when my flesh has been torn.
Is an anger towards he who won't let loose my soul.
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023
