Would you die for me, 
if I asked you to?
Would you take a life, 
if I say, “do”
Would you let me drink your blood, 
if I wanted to?
Would you shed your blood, if I say, “do”?

Would you set the world on fire, 
on my command?
Destroy your brethren, at a mere 
wave of my hand?
Would you offer up your body 
as the ultimate sacrifice?
Place yourself at “their” disposal 
like a laboratory mice

Would you cede your soul, 
just to keep me young?
Feed my “hunger” with your unborn son?
Would you die for me baby?
Kill for me?
Sing?
Abandon your loved ones and 
pledge allegiance to the daemon king?
Would you be my slave?
Fly with me?
Rise when summoned, from your murky grave?

Am I big?
Short?
Slim?
Tall?
How do you know me so well?
When…
You don't know me at all.

Before you were here
We were together
Before this time
Always…
You have been mine
From the back allies of Calcutta,
Infested with flies  
The wonders of the universe
At the edge of the skies
Throughout time and history
Centuries   
You have worshipped me.

Close your eyes
Feel my malevolent puissance
Sense the magic
The prurient desire
Tune out the naysayers
Their lies and pule prayers
Listen, listen, listen…
Hear the daemons singing
Hear then calling out to you
Listen to their cowardly laughter
And the horror-stricken screams
Your worst nightmares
Are…
My delightful dreams
I can take you to heaven
In my arms there is no trepidation, 
absolutely no fear
I can send you to hell
On a wing and a prayer
Like the pied piper
The innocent and the guilty
To my song they clap and dance
The pious and irreverent
Stand nary a chance

When my warships invade your space
When you look up and the black and 
grey is in your face
When the children stand and Galaexy 
begins to hum
When I spread my bloodstained wings
My faithful houri …
Will you come?

Would you die for me?
Kill for me girl?
Live for me?
Surrender your world?

Would you…

Die for me?

Yes you would
