An episode (from Greek ἐπεισόδιον – epeisodion, "parenthetic addition") is a part of a dramatic work such as a serial television or radio program. An episode is a part of a sequence of a body of work, akin to a chapter of a book. The term sometimes applies to works based on other forms of mass media as well, as in Star Wars. Episodes of news programs are also known as editions.
Episodes which end in the middle of a climactic moment are often called cliffhangers, after the name used for early movie serials. Such episodes can be nearly daily occurrences in soap operas and are frequently used in season finales of many prime time shows.
Episodes can be part of a larger story arc stretched out over a time period covering one or more seasons, or even an entire series run. This is especially prevalent in dramatic television series, including soap operas or science fiction series. Other genres to feature story arcs include comedies and animated programming.
The idea of stories being told in episodes has origins in serialized literature, and in Aristotle's Poetics as "pataka". Another early example of this is the One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights), which consisted of a series of serialized stories, or "serialized novels" or novellas.
I have, I have spoken
Enjoy the black demise
Betray, you betrayers
Taste life blood from your own kind
Ignite waiting darkness
What you fear comes alive
Dry lips, chant damnation
Driving man to self destruction
No one can save you now
Behold the black demise
Cursed gods have forsaken
The lands of ruined mankind
Invades human nature
This lost and perfect rapture
Evil domination
Driving man to self destruction
Enjoy the black demise!!!
Taste life blood from your own side
Feel your flesh burning inside
Darkness blinds your perception
Driving man to self destruction
