Fiend — Theme of Sephirot

Music: Masayoshi Soken

Arrangement: Masayoshi Soken

Lyrics: Michael-Christopher Koji Fox

Vocals: Dan Inoue

What is it like when you pull back the curtain

And realize every wrong is a right?

Your world is rusted like a dirty razor

The edge is calling tonight

The edge is calling tonight

The edge is calling tonight

The sun is setting, darkness taking over

A date with chaos and you’re dressed to the nines

Salt of the earth salting your own fields

Road to destruction that is true and tried

You walk the path laid before you

The call of reason, you refuse to abide

Necessity is an inventive mother

Promising sanctum that She cannot provide

She is the hand that rocks the cradle

The wind that breaks the bough and leaves you to die

And there She leaves you to die

And there She leaves you to die

You’ll find slumber when the world comes tumbling down

Sweet dreams, baby. Sleep tight!

Retreat where lesser men lead

Flee from what you do not see

Heed the dark within your being

Turn away

Disobey

I’m the end and the beginning

The faith that feeds the unbelieving

A tightening knot to staunch the bleeding

Say my name

Say my name

Sephirot

The seventh hell’s become your seventh heaven

Rose of redemption but a thorn in your pride

Waste no more time fighting your demons

Lay down your arms and let the evil inside

And then you let it inside

And then you let it inside

You let it eat you till there’s nothing left at all

So you can feel that you are truly alive

Better to serve in a waking nightmare

Than rule in their paradise

What is gold, always glitters

But it still comes with an unpayable price

Treading out upon the stagnant waters

Our savior waiting for a turn in the tide

You are the night at the end of the tunnel

The empty void where the serpent lies

Where the serpent lies

Where the serpent lies

The angels graze in the meadows of excess

They must needs go that the devils drive

Retreat where lesser men lead

Flee from what you do not see

Concede your mind unto the fiend

Turn away

Debts are paid

I’m the end and the beginning

The drug that gives the wretched meaning

The answer every soul is seeking

Say my name

Say my name

Sephirot!
