lyrics

He came to me with a smile
“I come to you as a friend, one with a question:
What is it that you want most in this life?
Power? Glory? Knowledge? Courage?
Justice? Revenge? Heaven? Name it.
Name your desire, it shall be yours.
I ask for your soul in return.
So what’s your answer to my offer?
Let mouth and mind be quick!”
“My mind and mouth are quick enough.
My answer is this:
God of Silvertongue
My name will bleed your lips,
Stay your cursed hands from ‘round my throat.
You should have held me not in thought
And freed yourself from me.
O, God of Silvertongue, I am the End.
Long I have waited
For your ravenous shade to take the form of man
And come to me.
In showing yourself
A question I must ask:
What is it you want most in this life?
Man of Silvertongue
By the stroke of my blade
I offer the freedom you most desire.
Come closer to me
And let me whisper, soft
The only blessing you have come to know:
Slave of Silvertongue
The fault lies not on you – burdened by the weight of devilspeech.
Steel will meet flesh
The Tongue will be silenced.
Find salvation in this violent act.”
