A demon is a supernatural, often malevolent being prevalent in various religions, occultisms, literature, and folklore. The original Greek word daimon does not carry the negative connotation initially understood by implementation of the Koine δαιμόνιον (daimonion), and later ascribed to any cognate words sharing the root.
In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered an "unclean spirit" which may cause demonic possession, calling for an exorcism. In Western occultism and Renaissance magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of Greco-Roman magic, Jewish demonology, and Christian tradition, a demon is a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled.
The Ancient Greek word δαίμων daimōn denotes a "spirit" or "divine power", much like the Latin genius or numen. Daimōn most likely came from the Greek verb daiesthai ("to divide, distribute"). The Greek conception of a daimōns notably appears in the works of Plato, where it describes the divine inspiration of Socrates. To distinguish the classical Greek concept from its later Christian interpretation, the former is usually anglicized as either daemon or daimon rather than demon.
David Blaine (born David Blaine White; April 4, 1973) is an American illusionist and endurance artist. He is best known for his high-profile feats of endurance, and has made his name as a performer of street and close-up magic. He has set and broken several world records. Theatre owner James Nederlander as well as The New York Times have referred to Blaine as a modern day Houdini.
Blaine was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and is of Puerto Rican descent on his father's side, and Russian Jewish on his mother's. His mother, Patrice Maureen White (1946–1995), was a school teacher living in New York, and his father William Perez was a Vietnam veteran. When he was four years old, he saw a magician performing magic in the subway. This sparked an interest in Blaine. He was raised by his single mother and attended many schools in Brooklyn. When he was ten years old, his mother married John Bukalo and they moved to Little Falls, New Jersey, where he attended Passaic Valley Regional High School. He has a half-brother named Michael James Bukalo. When he was 17 years old, Blaine moved to Manhattan, New York.
Plot
Dante's Hell Animated is a real and truthful epic animation film that embarks Dante Alighieri's journey through the first part of the afterlife, Hell. It is a compelling four-quadrant film presented circle by circle in a chronological descent to the center of Hell, and to the exit into Purgatory. Dante's Hell Animated comes in two versions, one recited in primitive Italian in Dante's own words, and another narrated in English better understanding in this non-original language. Dante is guided by his hero Virgil through each circle of Hell and their subdivisions until they reach the center of the Earth and escaped to the other hemisphere into Purgatory. It features over 50 original color illustrations from the upcoming Dante's Hell comic book and magazine series, put together in a series of animation clips that will delight young and mature audiences.

The real epic animation as written by Dante Alighieri
Sometimes they're in a bottle,
Sometimes a pair of high-heel shoes,
Some come rolled in paper
Some have six strings and only play the blues
Once you've met the devil
There ain't no way he'll let you be
When I'm not chasing demons,
There's demons chasing me
Skeletons in closets
Ghosts underneath the bed
They hide out in pictures
And words better left unsaid
They hang around like perfume
And haunt me like an ancient melody
When I'm not chasing demons,
There's demons chasing me
There's things that I can't leave alone
'Cause they won't leave me alone
What I want ain't what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Then try to run away
Am I afraid of being free
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
So roll one up and light it
Pick up my old guitar
I'm playing crossroads
Drinking whiskey from a mason jar
Heartache at my front door
Says she needs my company
When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
There's things that I can't leave alone
'Cause they won't leave me alone
What I want ain't what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Then try to run away
Am I afraid of being free
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
It was the night when the darkness came and the
days were getting cold. It was the night when the
angel died and the demon had been crowned.
It was the night when my soul has died and my
Heart was getting cold. It was the night when the
Angel died and the demon had been crowned. Ride
On the same old feeling, something strange and sad.
Ride on, dead wings of sickness, the demon in my
Demons
Demons gonna get into you
Demons gonna stick it to you
Demons gonna rape it
Demons gonna take it
Demons gonna take over you
Demons gonna take it to far
Demons gonna take it past death
Demons gonna take it 'till your life force runs cold
Demons gonna be your last breath
Demons gonna make it unreal
Demons gonna make it jack off
Demons guide you through the pain
Demons gonna fuck you straight
Demons gonna make you get off, get off, GET OFF
Demons
Look at me
Demons gonna make it too dull
Demons gonna make you see bile
Demons take you from the front
Demons snipping up your cunt
Demons gonna ask you for a smile, and you'll smile
Demons gonna you drag heel
Demons gonna make it such a waste
Taken to it's final goal
Where there is no control
Demons do it with blood shit and pain
In a cradle of thousand fires, I burn.
While words of poetry painfully penetrates my mind.
No star will ever shine for you. You will never
see the light of the day again, for the darkness
will be your shelter - forever.
Lick it - be prepared for the departure of a journey within.
Lick a stone, thrown into the sea by the hand of death,
I am falling into the rast of my subconsciousness.
Despite my blindness I witness my past as I am drowning
in beautiful pictures of perverted art.
In the twilight a bestial drama is being enacted.
Her legs are separated as my tears fall on her breasts...
...oh, I fuck her...
In a cradle of thousand fires, I burn.
While words of poetry painfully penetrates my mind.
No star will ever shine for you. You will never
see the light of the day again, for the darkness
And then there was silence, born and bound in me
Amidst the hungry darkness, our eyes learned to see
They are in my blood, their howl is my name
No storm can calm this fire!
The mirror in me
Corrupt with serpents
Their scales cut me free
I kiss the demon
Forbidden, yet opened
We praise the living truth
That crushes the mountains
And swallows the sea
Our roots reaching deeper, like daggers into flesh
Our wounds sing of freedom, bleeding with each breath
These eyes are not blind, I drink the insane flow
My naked heart forgives me!
The mirror in me
Reflects a black rain
That waters my dream
I die with demons
Forbidden, yet opened
We are the living truth
That crushes the mountains
And murders the child
Through cobwebs of time, our winding blades will wing
Tears falling from the dagger, we gather souls to sing
Out temple awaits here, with altars aflame
Come shades, come all, with thunder!
Demons! Demons!
Inside the living temple
My origins and fate
I sacrifice to demons
Clarity just confuses me
The lines drawn on a map
A strange assembly
When there's northerners in southerners
And westenders in eastenders
And sunny days in January
Left spaces in my diary
But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
Because the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
'Coz I know that
Apathy only ruined me
Hanging around waiting for calamity
And by the year four million
Our skins will be vermilion
I own a dartboard memory
So I'll forget any felony
But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
'Coz I know that you know that we know
They don't know what's going on
And the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
But the demons never need to read
What we never got around to write
A flirt with mediocrity
Comes with heavy penalty
But the demons never need to read
What we never got around to write
A flirt with mediocrity
Comes with a heavy penalty
'Coz I know that you know that we know
Another day in the life of a stranger
Surrounded by four walls that can't be seen
He knows this dude that lives uptown and he delivers
He often calls him for that perfect dream
But oh, he's got his demons
And they stay right by his side
Through his everyday hell, yeah
He loves his wine and his pretty women
He buys them everything just to stay around
He's got it made cause his daddy's got a bundle
He seldom reaches out but there's no one to be found
Except oh, he's still got them demons
And they stay right by his side
In his man-made hell
Oh, he's got his demons
And they by his side
Another dar in the life of the lonely
All alone in a sold out crowd
He can always buy some cheap thrills with his money
His world of silence has become much too loud
But ho, don't forget them demons
They're still right by his side
Causing all kinds of hell, yeah
You are the string in my bow.
Biblical Mary to Joe.
The North isn't True 'til it's leading me to you.
You are the way that I know.
Under the weight of belief
you shiver and shake like a leaf.
But death is a force, not a man on a horse:
I'll keep you safe while you sleep.
They said, "She had a heart attack"
I think the creature's coming back
And I am fine 'coz all my love's electrifying
And I come feel like assessable, wanna be with you
And it's my premonition, I better give my heart a listen
And my preacher say
"All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Coz all of my demons have withered away
All of your demons will wither away"
He said, he shook himself to death
I wanna dance till my last breath
But Mr.[Incomprehensible] only party's hard and [Incomprehensible]
Come feel like assessable
Wanna be with you, wanna be with you
And it's my premonition, I better give my heart a listen
And my preacher say
"All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Coz all of my demons have withered away"
All of your demons wither away
All of your demons wither away
All of your demons wither away
Ecstasy comes
All of your demons wither away
Ecstasy comes, cannot stay
You'll understand, come my way
there are demons
there are demons
around here
I ain't that stupid
and I feel beside myself
running away to warm sunny days
we will hide our clothes
You could never really win
not to say you're born to lose
you were born to take 10th place, out of 20 in the field
Mistakes flow through your veins in a mediocre way
Your life's a living hell
You've got gremlins in your blood cells
and monsters in your bed
They're haunting you again
oh it must be this place at least that's what you say, say, say
You don't love you anymore
Cast your demons aside
keep them close enough to know what you're running from
Soon you won't feel this anymore
cast your demons aside
Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on
The fire used to burn
in your heart and in your eyes
You used to dream you used to care you used to love you used to fight
for anything at all
You cover up your bedroom wall with who you want to be
Now you're afraid to be yourself so you search the mall for something else
You read magazines and watch MTV
You practiced it and everything
oh your dressed to impress but you look like a drag queen
You don't love you anymore
cast your demons aside
keep them close enough to know what you're running from
Soon you won't feel this anymore
cast your demons aside
Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on
So keep your head up high
Stretch inches into miles
because Brooklyn wasn't built in just a day
Focus on important things
Be your own gun like every ghost that held you down was gone
Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on
You don't love you anymore
cast your demons aside
keep them close enough to know what you're running from
Soon you won't feel this anymore
cast your demons aside
Have you ever been lost in a different world
Where everything you once knew
Is gone
And you find yourself powerless
With everything that exists
You're numb
Will I ever break free
I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams
If you become a nobody
Blind, to your family
Who would you be?
And life has gone into reverse
Re-living every hurt
Along the way
Everything that you fear is calling you and drawing near
I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams
Wake me up and let's go, yeah
I'm about to explode
Yeah
I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
Thinking back on memories
The road that brought me here
How did it all go wrong
I've made so many enemies
I'm living out my fears
I don't know where to turn, now I'm no longer your concern
Who's gonna save me from today?
Who'll understand why I'm afraid?
Reins on my brain stopping me again
Demons wanna play
And take me away
I'll fight the demons from within me
All by myself
Hope is slowing creeping
into life each day
the voices in my mind are willing me to stay
watch me getting stronger
there's so much left to say
Now I finally accept that I'm the only one to blame
Chorus
Oh I'm gonna fight this
And I know you won't like it
Self control is all I need
To stop this killing me
Demons wanna play
Tech N9ne]
I'm an angel/demon, man
You know what I'm sayin', what makes me a demon is lust
I'm girl crazy and that's why I couldn't keep my wife
You know what I'm sayin', and that's the lust demon livin' within me
And, uh, but my heart love, big, you know what I'm sayin', so
I know a lot of demons come to my shows, as well as angels
You know what I'm sayin', a lot of demons
(When I was one, and-a two, and-a three, and-a four
I knew I was a special one who had a little more
And they wondered why I was plotting, rotten to the core
It was nothing but an itty-bitty demon)
There's a demon inside of me, can I kill it? Hell, no!
Can I kill it? Hell, no! Can I kill it? Hell, no!
There's a demon inside of me, can I kill it? Hell, no!
Can I kill it? Hell, no! Can I kill it? Hell, no!
Yo, it make me wanna drink a lot, go up in the pink with not
This the reason I ain't at ease and currently on the brink of pot
This the reason I sit at the window with the millie
Wishing a nigga gon' come break in
This is the reason I be freaking a woman deeper
Loving making her silly because I done they friends
It is the reason I bang, it is definitely the reason I slang
Distributed the 'caine
The reason I'm super-soaking in the pain, and starting to love it
It's wanting to give me way more of it, they want me to lug it through the mud
And thus the reason with happy people I'm disgusted
I'm talking about those thangs that make you do bad thangs
Living the evil up in the fast lane
Making me want to have a wicked persona
Beating the hell up out of people making me mad, mayne
Gave me the gun when I ran up in dealings in the ninth grade, with a slight rage
I was Ice Age, another reason Tecca Nina won't have any light days
Voted me the King of Darkness, voted me to be really heartless
All up in my spirit they march, they making me start sparking other targets
Woke up today I was steaming, cause when I found I was not dreaming
Because the host that influenced me the most was a goddamn demon
(Three 6 Mafia!)
See there's a demon inside of me, and I'm thinking it's that dope
It's got me doing shit a nigga never even had done befo'
It got me kicking in the door of folks I don't even know
Straight wilding, nine-eleven times a fucking thousand
Buck like public housing, my Glock is so arousing
Make you stand atten-hut the way that bitch be shouting
Something like a scary movie, nigga but I'm scarier
Bury ya, Memphis Ten Black Haven area
Buck nigga, get buck bitch, get with me
And I'mma show you how this Triple 6 will get silly
Psycho, like no other individual
Glock with the red beam to keep you in my visual
Three 6 and Tech Nina wet you like an Aquafina
Desert Eagle, .50 Cal', tell me have you seen her
Pussy juice, still on my shit from this ho I just raped
In her fucking husband's face, shot him in his fucking face
That fishscale powder will make you hype
Go into a bar, get into bar fights
Have you walking around all night
Looking like a fool, like something ain't right
That Ecstacy pill will make you feel it
Look at a bitch, girl you gon' get it
You wanna act kinda funny with me?
You can suck my dick until I nut on titties
Loritab pills, any kind of pills, Vicodin, Xanax, Ambien yeah
All geeked up, wash it down with a beer
Dig it to myself, nigga it's your year
Nigga I party like a goddamn fool
Backyard barbeque, hoes in the pool
Jacked like a motherfucker, strapped like a motherfucker

Nowhere to ru-u-un, nowhere to hi-i-ide

Nowhere to ru-u-un, nowhere to hi-i-ide

To all the people, go to therealtechn9ne.com or sickness.net
[Chorus:]
I'm wasted, I'm high
I'm tryin to just get by
I'm tryin to live my life
The Demons, they won't leave me alone
I'm wasted, I'm high
I'm tryin to just get by
I'm tryin to live my life
The Demons, they won't leave me alone
[Chorus]
You can find demons on me every side,
At this point I ain't goin there to hide.
They wanna jump ship, let em take a ride
It's a known truth not to lose your pride.
And if they then be gettin out of hand,
Smack em in the head and make em take a stand
You gotta let em kow you run your shit man
These motherfuckin demons will take you for everything they can.
It's the alcohol that got me most,
She got me numbed up everyday we toast.
To all the other demons that be on the way,
Can we flip a green one, purple cap, ready to play.
Now all the suspects here,
Runnin strong in the blood, all clear.
And if they gonna leave I'm gonna find a twin,
So that I can balance my levels and feel normal again.
[Chorus]
These demons won't leave me alone
I hear evil voices in the telephone.
Late at night when I'm hittin my bong
Writtin a song it just all goes wrong.
I hear voices, coming through the walls
Illusions of demons running down my halls.
So I, get my glock, release the safety
Pop in my clip and they start to chase me.
I shoot one and they don't shoot back
Pop two more rounds out my windows that smashed.
Broken glass and police cars
So I stash my weed and my funny pill jars.
Start explaining, but I'm talkin in circles
They tell me slow down, we're not gonna hurt you.
I know myself, I don't trust no police
Cause badges, like demons, I be seein in my sleep.
[Chorus]
I got a pretty long list of demons
That be in and out my life like santa clause on Christman evenin.
When I was teethin the boogy man was a factor
In high school it changed to bong hits and droppin acid.
Keystone ice and mickey's grenades
Scorin bags of mid-grade for 10 dollars an eighth
[? ] 15 started smokin grit,
16 years later now I'm tryin to quit.
Where in my mid 20s I never took a break
I treated every waking moment like it was a holiday.
Yeah, I straight raged with the party brigade,
Never did meth or H but I dabbled with the yey.
Hey yo, just know you're never alone
Cause everybodys got monsters livin in their dome, peace.
Please release and get rid of your bad thoughts
It just might take more than 12 steps, but you gotta walk.
When I think of you in the city,
The sight of you among the sites.
I get this sudden sinking feeling,
Of a man about to fly.
Never kept me up before,
Now I've been awake for days.
I can't fight it anymore,
I'm going through an awkward phase.
I am secretly in love with,
Everyone that I grew up with.
Do my crying underwater,
I can't get down any farther.
All my drowning friends can see,
Now there is no running from it.
It's become the crux of me,
I wish that I could rise above it.
But I stay down,
With my demons.
But I stay down,
With my demons
Passing buzzards in the sky,
Alligators in the sewers.
I don't even wonder why,
Hide among the under views.
Huddle with them all night long,
The worried talk to god goes on.
I sincerely tried to love it,
Wish that I could rise above it.
But I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
With my demons
Can I stay here? I can sleep
on the floor
paint the blood and hang the palms,
On the door.
Do not think I'm going places anymore,
Wanna see the sun come up above New York.
Oh, everyday I start so great,
Then the sunlight dips.
Less I've learned,
The more I see the pythons and the limbs.
Do not know what's wrong with me,
Sours in the cup.
When I walk into a room,
I do not light it up.
Fuck.
So I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death
Time passes like the wind
As we race to beat days dusky grin
Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning
Come fulfill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease
In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your Aztec eyes, Egyptian hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
I've loved you before, in other lives
But you've never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now
In this night of sacrifice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than that
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come fulfill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
This madness will never cease
Throw it back again, now you see you're against the wall.
Torn with indifference, between the ones who have lost it all.
Someday you'll piece this together, and maybe then you'd redeem this soul.
There's nothing left here for you to rape, or take for your own.
Because you couldn't seem, You couldn't seem to, to speak the truth.
I'll never be the one to save you, I'll never be the one,
Until you admit that you were wrong.
If it means I'll get to watch you burn,
I'll be the one who'll light the first match.
If it means I'll get to watch you burn,
I'll be the one who lights that match
No one will hear you, your own demons will rip you apart
No one will hear you, your own demons will rip you apart
There's no hope left for you now, Your living in the shadows of hell.
Because you couldn't seem, You couldn't seem to, to speak the truth.
I'll never be the one to save you, I'll never be the one,
Until you admit that you were wrong.
You cried out for redemption but even you couldn't save yourself.
Demons!
we’ve all got ‘em there’s no denying it
get these demons off my back
i throw myself into the fire
a life worth living is something i’ll never know here’s a short fuse
burning abuse
I've been thinking lots about my life and
How quick I'd wash it down the drain
Past tense the future, nothing matters now
I act on my own and I'm to blame
Living is a wicked dream, when things turn out all wrong
Were all so weak, no matter how strong, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
I quit running away from me
Convinced that I have grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
I don't like that you're calling me a liar
I don't like that you found out I'm a snake
Been sneaking around for far too long now
I don't like how fast my intentions fade
Karma has beat me down, but the worst is yet to come
Many mistakes and still I'm so young, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
I quit running away from me
Convinced that I have grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
I can't
Count how many times
Awakened in fear, nightly
Palms sweating
Dreams
Where promises are made
To no one but myself
Help him
Crushed daily
Don't lend me your hand
I can't trust my self
So how can you trust me
We've all made selfish, bad decisions
We've all tried dishing out the blame
Convinced our selves of our own actions
My problem is I'll never change
In doubt, some good comes out
I'll fold before it's time
Can't promise you that it's my last time, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
I quit running away from me
Convinced that I had grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
Truth won't help you now
All the loves gone too far
Truth won't help you now
All the loves gone too far
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
You're take the... blood
And call it...
You'll be taking down...
Pretty orphanage, you gonna pay for it
It will purify...
Chorus:
Demons, come on!
You got a vision, you're on a mission
Demons, live on!
I'm gonna try, see me try!
They gonna berry you, they gonna finish...
... I wanna know
... where the hell you go?
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down
Chorus: (x2)
Demons, come on!
You got a vision, you're on a mission
Demons, live on!
I'm gonna try, see me try!
... no one else but me
... no one else but me
... no one else but me
... no one else but me
Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight

Your misery in life

Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease
In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your aztec eyes, egyptian hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
I've loved you before, in other lives
But youUve never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now
In this night of sacrifice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than that
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
Well, hello old friend!
The night is dark and I feel cold.
The sun is setting, I need to get out before it starts.
I can feel it and I know it's not the same,
I'm the one you're the drug to ease my pain.
I was wondering if you ever see me again.
Chorus:
I keep running and I don't know why,
I see my demons and I just can't hide,
Say no! I wanna let go!
I keep running and I don't know why,
I see my demons and I just can't hide,
Say no! I wanna let go!
Your voice is fading,
A distant sound, silent cold,
It keeps me waiting,
The one to catch me if I fall.
I can feel it and I know it's not the same,
I'm the one you're the drug to ease my pain.
I was wondering if you ever see me again.
Chorus:
I keep running and I don't know why,
I see my demons and I just can't hide,
Say no! I wanna let go!
I keep running and I don't know why,
I see my demons and I just can't hide,
Say no! I wanna let go!
When there's so much at stake,
Tell me, is this real or is this fake?
I'm circling around this room.
Chorus:
I keep running and I don't know why,
I see my demons and I just can't hide,
Say no! I wanna let go!
I keep running and I don't know why,
I see my demons and I just can't hide,
I've been thinking lots about my life and
How quick I'd wash it down the drain
Past tense the future, nothing matters now
I act on my own and I'm to blame
Living is a wicked dream, when things turn out all wrong
Were all so weak, no matter how strong, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
I quit running away from me
Convinced that I have grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
I don't like that you're calling me a liar
I don't like that you found out I'm a snake
Been sneaking around for far too long now
I don't like how fast my intentions fade
Karma has beat me down, but the worst is yet to come
Many mistakes and still I'm so young, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
I quit running away from me
Convinced that I have grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
I can't
Count how many times
Awakened in fear, nightly
Palms sweating
Dreams
Where promises are made
To no one but myself
Help him
Crushed daily
Don't lend me your hand
I can't trust my self
So how can you trust me
We've all made selfish, bad decisions
We've all tried dishing out the blame
Convinced our selves of our own actions
My problem is I'll never change
In doubt, some good comes out
I'll fold before it's time
Can't promise you that it's my last time, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
I quit running away from me
Convinced that I had grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
Truth won't help you now
All the loves gone too far
Truth won't help you now
All the loves gone too far
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
It's happening again,
Someone pretends to be your friend
Another ghost is talking to me.
My official attitude,
Come fill me up
Cause it's getting a little smokey in here.
Eyes pierce through the skin
And everywhere else
I don't want to be here alone.
People remain with a bidding glass.
And people say, "Tomorrow."
I've heard it all before from everyone
From the Ghosts of Baltimore.
If I take the time to walk away
Don't want to be a ghost anymore.
If I take the time
If I take the time
Don't want to be a ghost anymore.
People remain with a bidding glass.
And people say, "Tomorrow."
It won't be this way forever, forever
Oh oh, tomorrow.
It won't be this way forever, forever
Oh oh, won't be this way for long.
I am gonna change, tomorrow.
I am gonna change, tomorrow.
I am gonna change, tomorrow.
I am gonna change.
It won't be this way forever, forever
Oh oh, tomorrow.
It won't be this way forever, forever
Oh oh, won't be this way for long.
I am gonna change, tomorrow.
I am gonna change, tomorrow.
I am gonna change, tomorrow.
I am gonna change...
You and me, we're the same
Asking for more
More than the numbing existence
Offered us all
What did they say? What did they do?
To make you crawl back in
Despite everything that you've been through
You're still right here
Where I left you
We can lift up our heads to the sky
Find all of those strings that they're pulling
And keep from falling back
into our old rhythmic poses
Turning us into machines
And one of these days we'll no longer betray
Ourselves in anyway
We won't all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray
Ourselves in anyway
And we'll all take the same way out
And all these illusions
Dropped on a sea of believers
Crowding around as they hunt me down
And throw me out
While all the rest of the others
Bang their heads in the trenches
And one of these days we'll no longer betray
Ourselves in anyway
We won't all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray
Ourselves in anyway
And we'll all take the same way out
So don't give up on me
We can be still pretend
This is all just a game
Committed a sin!
YOU DIE!
'Cause I told you to!
Fell into my hands!
YOU DIE!
There's no turning back!
OH NO!
I am leading you!
Now I own your mind!
OH YES!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
OBEY! OBEY!
Do what I say! Do what I say!
NOW DIE! NOW DIE!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
There's no escaping the ULTIMATE EVIL:
The GREAT KAT! This isn't a crazy dream!
It's your life! NOW DIE!
Postrated in their claws,
dying at his feet,
Possessed you are...
by that demon who governs you
Your fear feeds him.
While he enjoys your sickness.
Under his legions,
Enslaved and moribund...
You'll fall once and another time,
Like an offering more
Crossing remote times,
He comes to here...
Being your eternal sovereign,
you'll kiss the secret,
Who was revealed,
by the infinite wars,
were chosen forever,
I ripped her out of her white dress
I burned it black, consumed her innocence
Let go no self control
Don't know what came over
Dark thoughts and death for closure
No chance for redemption
Do you know what's waiting behind the door,
You're demons or is it something more
He is waiting for you
You know what you've done is wrong
Bloodstained been running for far too long
He is here to take you
I kissed her lips so black and grey
She will never walk this earth again
No pain lost all control
So fast lost my composure
Black thoughts and taste for murder
No chance for redemption
Ocean stop moving
Drown in you sorrow
Pain is my passion
There'll be no tomorrow
Ocean stop moving
Drown in you sorrow
Pain is my passion
There'll be no tomorrow
Do you know what's waiting behind the door,
You're demons or is it something more
He is waiting for you
You know what you've done is wrong
Bloodstained been running for far too long
I feel her presence
I've seen her shadow late at night
Heard her breathing
Sending shivers down my spine
Come the morning
It'll be alright
There must be demons
Playing voodoo tricks with my heart
There must be demons
Casting demon spells
Touch her fingers
Fragrant perfume fills the air
Her spirit lingers
I wake to find there's no one there
There must be demons
Playing voodoo tricks with my heart
There must be demons
Casting demon spells
If I'm dreaming
Draw the blinds and let me sleep
Tell ya something
Dreams are thoughts that run too deep
Frozen image
Secrets that we keep
There must be demons
Playing voodoo tricks with my heart
There must be demons
Baby girl don't fear those demons
Baby girl don't fear those demons
Baby girl don't fear those demons
Baby girl why'd you make me wait so long
It took me 18 years just to write you this song
Things in this life and of all the things I did for you
I'm sorry for my mistakes and all the pain I put you through
If jealousy and anger are the feelings that you feel
And you tell 'em baby girl that those feelings are for real
They wanna give you reasons (baby) to think twice about my love
It's cause they lonely and jealous and they envy just because
They don't have what you got and want it so bad that they steal
So I promise baby girl all the pain andÿ thoughts are real
'Fraid of all the demons and get and softly seal them off
From your entire world, get to find out what is real
Yeah yeah...
Baby girl don't fear those demons
Baby girl don't fear those demons
Girl I need you with me, I need you by me
Not a thing I wanna go through without you beside me
If I'm never alone, and I need a friend
All I gotta do is call you and it's time we spend
Yeah it's always good when you do things right
Like when you kiss me on my forehead and you hold me tight
Like when you look into my eyes and tell me it's alright
Drive me away from all my demons tuck me in at night
Cause I tell you I'm in love, you tell me that I'm wrong
But even through all the pain you had every time that I was gone
Yeah every single day and every single night
You think about me all the time and every time you'd like
You wish they could be there, and I wish I could be too
But even if I was I don't know what to do
Cause I don't wanna lie, or even tell the truth
The truth is just too hard to say especially to you
Baby girl don't fear those demons
My words confuse you
My eyes don’t move a blink
Cause it’s easier sometimes
Not to be sincere
Somehow I make you believe
Believe
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
Honest is easy
Fiction is where genius lies
Cause it’s easier sometimes
Not to be involved
Somehow I make you believe
Believe
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
I'm scared to death
Of myself
I can't feel anything
I can't feel anything
I have become the pain
I have become my own demons
I'm tired of being a punk
Yeah, like I ever was
I'm tired of being myself
Yeah, like I ever am
Like a quarter dug out of a homeless man's pocket
Like a finger torn out from the socket
I tried it and I knock it
I'm just mad, 'cause nobody wants to steal my soul
I'm tired of being made up
Yeah, like I ever am
I'm tired of being tied down
Yeah, like I ever was
Turn the radio on
To the techno station
Keep it a few points off, so it sounds all ruff
Then it matches my head
All static with the meters in the red
I'm feeling half dead
Feel the demons rise
Let the mercury rise
Another day in the line full of stranger
Surrounded by four walls that can't be seen
He knows some dude he lives uptown and he deliveries
He often calls him for that perfect dream
Oh oh he's got his demons
They stay right by his side and his everyday is hell
He loves his wine and his pretty woman
He buys them anything just to stay around
He's got it make cause his daddy's got a bundle
He seldom reaches out where there no one to be found
But still oh, he still got them demons
They stand right by his side and he can't break out
Oh he's got his demons
They stay by his side
Another day in the life of the lonely
All alone in a sold out crowd
He can always buy a cheap thrill with his money
This world of silence is getting so damn loud, baby
Ohh, oh he's got his demons
Whoa whoa
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale
I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
When the curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don’t want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don’t want to hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I want to save their light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It go fly bitch, fly shit,
and got these ho on my dick
And if I could have one wish its that I die rich

Another day in the life of a stranger
Surrounded by four walls that can't be seen
He knows this dude that lives uptown and he delivers
He often calls him for that perfect dream
But oh, he's got his demons
And they stay right by his side
Through his everyday hell, yeah
He loves his wine and his pretty women
He buys them everything just to stay around
He's got it made cause his daddy's got a bundle
He seldom reaches out but there's no one to be found
Except oh, he's still got them demons
And they stay right by his side
In his man-made hell
Oh, he's got his demons
And they by his side
Another dar in the life of the lonely
All alone in a sold out crowd
He can always buy some cheap thrills with his money
His world of silence has become much too loud
But ho, don't forget them demons
They're still right by his side
I don't want to
I don't want you
I don't want to
But I'm gonna do it
It's gonna me
It's gonna hurt you
It's gonna hurt me
But I've gotta do it
There's a demon
Inside inside me
There's a demon
I... can't... let... him.. through
There's a demon
Inside inside me
And I love
They say, "She had a heart attack"
I think the preacher's coming back
And I am fried 'cause all my love's electrifying
And I'm comfy like a cesspool, I wanna be with you
And it's my premonition, I better give my heart a listen
And my preacher say
All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Cause all of my demons have withered away
All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Cause all of my demons have withered away
All of my demons have withered away
They said he shook himself to death
I wanna dance 'til my last breath
But mister, watch it, only parties hard in [Incomprehensible]
Comfy like a cesspool, wanna be with you, wanna be with you
And it's my premonition, I better give my heart a listen
And my preacher say
All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Cos all of my demons have withered away
All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Cause all of my demons have withered away
All of your demons wither away
All of your demons wither away
All of your demons wither away
All of your demons wither away
All of your demons wither away
Ecstasy comes, cannot stay
I better give my heart a listen
I better give my heart a listen
'Cause the preacher say
All of my demons
All of your demons wither away
Ecstasy comes, cannot stay
You'll understand, come my way
All of my demons wither away
All of your demons wither away
Ecstasy comes, cannot stay
You'll understand, come my way
All of my demons wither away
I got too drunk at your wedding and my voice got loud
And I said some creepy things and I staggered around
And even though your best man had to kick me out
It was a pretty good time either way
It seems a fight broke out and an old man was yelling
'Cause no one was buying all the bullshit he was selling
And he threw all his keepsakes on the ground and walked away
Cursing hard to bring back yesterday
And the dying ain't gonna stop
Just because you walk away
And you can cry for the things that you've lost
But you're never gonna bring back these days
I hate the Mondays and the Fridays 'cause they always define
The endless march of pushing ruthlessly to the light
Well, if I'm gonna be dying then I'm gonna get high
And scream until I'm not feeling the pain
Let's burn a bridge for the fuck of it and kill this night
With some beers down at the pits with whiskey lips and we'll try
To love for a moment and forget for the night
That life doesn't usually feel great
And the dying ain't gonna stop
Just because you walk away
And you can cry for the things that you've lost
But you're never gonna bring back these days
Where we gonna go now that everything's shut down?
I can't go home, so where do you want to go now?
Let's bring it back around
To where everybody's singing that
The dying ain't gonna stop
Just because you walk away
And you can cry for the things that you've lost
But you're never gonna bring back these days
Committed a sin!
YOU DIE!
'Cause I told you to!
Fell into my hands!
YOU DIE!
There's no turning back!
OH NO!
I am leading you!
Now I own your mind!
OH YES!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
OBEY! OBEY!
Do what I say! Do what I say!
NOW DIE! NOW DIE!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
DEMONS! DEMONS! DEMONS!
There's no escaping the ULTIMATE EVIL:
The GREAT KAT! This isn't a crazy dream!
"goodnight, no shadows, outside, these gallows,
Sleep well until the morning sun, slowly, call
Winter turns spring and the sun turns the gun (2x)
Soft eyes, no demons, let go, your reasons, fills the silence,
One more, kiss
Realities in my face, I'm not rolling the dice
Everyone's got a theory but I'm dealing in life
We'll collapse from the inside and we'll burn like Rome
Securities lost, the enemy's our own
Given up too much
Not this time
We've had enough!
Given up too much
Not this time
We've had enough!
Don't feed me your worthless lies
Down with the lies
Slaughter every shred of humanity
Demons can't kill what burns inside of me
All the lines I'm fed, none of it's true
You don't do for me, so why should I do for you?
All the lines I'm fed, none of it's true
They say, "She had a heart attack"
I think the preacher's coming back
And I am fried 'cause all my love's electrifying
And I'm comfy like a cesspool, I wanna be with you

We are instruments of evil we come straight from hell
We're the legions of the demons that are haunting for the kill
Cathedrals are now cemetaries doom is all you see
We have come to take the world and give you misery
We are pestilent and contaminate the world
And make tombs of your cities
We come bursting through your bodies, rape your helpless soul
Transform you into a creature merciless and cold
We force you to kill your brother eat his blood and brain
Shredding flesh and sucking bone 'till everyone's insane
We are pestilent and contaminate the world
Demonic legions prevail
REPEAT 1ST VERSE
We are pestilent and contaminate the world
And make tombs of your cities
Demons! (4x)
You've got religion on you side
Thats why you tell so many lies
Every kiss is just a kiss
And nothing more and nothing less
Hold your breath were going down some
I'll stick a fork into your side
Just to make sure you're alive
Jeopardise our friendship
But you've always hated that
You say no they're gonna stone you
Cut my fingers off
And make my hand a ghost
So put it in your head
Excuse my thoughts
Why can't you say
Sometimes I live a lonely life
Such a pointless life
God knows I like to criticise
The only way that I'll get by
Yes, I need common sense
I really wasn't born with it
Shoot me in the face
And make these demons disappate
I am just the same as you
I've spent a lifetime in a room
I've spent a lifetime in a chair
I've sat naked in the chair
I've thrown stones at passing cars
It's funny ha ha ha
I'm getting chased by killer bees
I fight them with your stale excuse
How can you start again
I'd give a lot to start anew
And make my peace with animals
Worst of all...
I told you...
So cut my fingers off
And make my hand a ghost
So put it in your head
Excuse my thoughts
Cause you'll never say
Sometimes I live a lonely life
Such a pointless life
God knows I like to criticise
The only way that I'll get by
Yes, I need common sense
I really wasn't born with it
Shoot me in the face
And make these demons disappate
No matter how long I stay
I get the feeling to leave
I'm gonna leave right now
Before I go insane
And I will lose my place
And I will never come back
I'll stick a fork into your side
Just to make sure you're alive
And you've always hated that
Sometimes I live a lonely life
Such a pointless life
God knows I like to criticise
The only way that I'll get by
Yes I need common sense
I really wasn't born with it
So shoot me in the face
Summer has gone and winter is near
If life means hope then hope means fear
Beloved soul...
Enslavement is close at hand
...end... end... end...
Crawl on your knees, little scum
Sanity's fool - obey your sons
Elysian wounds...
Embraced by solitude
Aahh - with cold blank eyes
Aahh - with an empty smile
(Here are) your demons
Your clandestine demons
Yearning for a sign...
Your demons
Your clandestine demons
...to sneak up from behind...
Here they are...
Aahh - with cold blank eyes
Aahh - with an empty smile
Elusive cries from a distant prey
Deceiver's LAMB in the heart of dismay... dismay...
I'm calling you to me
Hear my words in yout mind
Hear me speak without tunes
From the endless worlds of fire
I have found you
I'm now the tormentor of your soul
Wherever you may hide
I will turn light for you to darkness
Ancient spirits
Created by evil
Follow my voice
I can see destruction from a different side now
When the demons have drowned my mind
You can't hide in the darkness
