Knells of Avicii; Ars Goetia
King of anguish and prince of woes, revoke your hysterically sinful song
No Malphas fails to architect; no Buddha blunders fate
Ease my end to a careful close, reprieve my deeds that meet no wrong
Lift me back to the holy sect; Neruda sunders magistrate
Leviathan has torched the wings, the very couple I had donned
Seraphim have passed me by, wincing at the sight of me
One by one each feather flaked, ashes stained the goose that swanned
First we’re cutting through the sky, next we’re smothered under sea
Acceptance is all my heart can muster; devoted to controlled disaster
Virtuous act I can now decide, transcending the mission That Man bore
In truth I’ve lost only one luster; down below I am a master
Crossing heights of boiling pride, run the world and breathe no more
Infernos surrender to my constitution, they know I am in command
I am the Pillar of perdition, I am the Duke of the damned
