lyrics

Intro Hook:

My name is Swann and ive been haunted by the devil himself
I Left him than I parted with wealth
I know I killed him but he’s mad that he was left on the shelf
And now he wants a part of myself

My name is Swann and ive been haunted by the devil himself
I Left him than I parted with wealth
I know I killed him but he’s mad that he was left on the shelf
And now he wants a part of myself

Verse 1:

I have returned to kill the Puritan
I once was loyal to this narcissistic dark magician
His name is nix im risking death this was a hard decision
a nervous wreck a pounding heart As I embark the mission
Approached the compound with couple of my former members
A captive child in the corner trapped with cuffs
I went to free her but behind me crept the The source of havoc
He Dug his hands into my brain as I absorbed the magic
Was always telling us that flesh was a prison
now he’s Messed with my vision and says its flesh but through a gods eyes
(Ugh)But I survived and I did not die
The trick Was all for nothing cause with darkness I did not side
Nah, it was a pointless attack
And When he locked his focus on me, then his prisoner shot him in his back
and through his heart - that’s with my own own gun
Then I Strapped him in an iron mask and now the bastard’s dead and done

Hook:

My name is Swann and ive been haunted by the devil himself
I Left him than I parted with wealth
I know I killed him but he’s mad that he was left on the shelf
And now he wants a part of myself

My name is Swann and ive been haunted by the devil himself
I Left him than I parted with wealth
I know I killed him but he’s mad that he was left on the shelf
And now he wants a part of myself

Verse 2:

A decade later off the gift im doing shows in Vegas
Its just illusion far from broke because the shows contagious
My wife’s the kid I freed from capture, felt she owed a favor
She didnt owe me shit regardless she still made me take her
And now another night of Magic’s turned to something tragic
I could not escape the shackles daggers started stabbing
and I can hear the panic from the crowd reacting
Died upon the stage I disappeared this time nobodies clapping
Detective on me he’s suspecting that my death was faked
Like its deception and im faking that ive met my fate
And thats a fact I faked my death, he said “I rest my case”
My resting place is really vacant still got breathes to take
Pretend to end it cuz Im knowing that id serve a sentence
Revenge was coming I was running from a hefty penance
Nix awoken from his slumber by his peasants
felt my presence cuz as long as im alive my soul is ever-present
He killed his loyalists and told em that they weren’t worthy
As Half their bodies lay ensnared beneath the dirt
He tried to bring me to the darkness so wed share the curse
He told me that The grave is lonely- but this life is worse
We went to war , blows delivered back and forth
Try to close the chapter can’t allow this scum to pass the torch
I took my final breath then struck again with magic
As my bones disintegrate to dust I sent him back into the chasm
