about

Protagonist: ASMODEUS
Sin: Lust/Vanity

LUST: How the media facilitates celebrity culture, as it suits their aims. Feed the people shit, they devour it and become what they eat. The selfie generation. Celebrity culture, and how empty and vacuous it is to worship false idols whose own values are based purely on preserving and increasing their own celebrity. The idolizing of fame, and the power of media.

How someone as odious as Donald Trump can have a platform and be considered as a "credible" candidate to lead America; about the dumbing down of a population who care more about the opinions of Joey fucking Essex than the values of the liberal left at a time when more than ever the public needed reasoned guidance. How the media again facilitates this, as it suits their aims. Feed the people shit, they devour it and become what they eat. How we've become such a bunch of unanalytical brainless cunts that being famous is considered success, regardless of the value that person brings to the world. Where looks, and vanity are prized over achievements and intellect.

All of which, of course, feeds the Satan machine

lyrics

DEFERENCE, REVERENCE, EXALTATION
DECEPTION’S CROWN GLEAMS BRIGHT IN THE SUN
A VACUOUS FAÇADE THAT MAKES STERILE VIRTUE
BUILD A CULT OF PERSONALITY AND THEY WILL COME
TO TASTE THE SIN OF THE SERPENT’S POISON
TO DRINK THEIR FILL AND SATE THEIR LUST
TO GIVE THEIR ALL IN PYRRHIC SURRENDER
ANOTHER IDOL REPLACES ANOTHER GOD

ANOTHER ICON REPLACES ANOTHER GOD
HOLLOW. A SHALLOW MASK CONCEALS ALL THAT LIES BEHIND THIS VACANT STARE THAT BLINDS AND BINDS
WE GIVE THEM EVERYTHING, WE YIELD TO ESTEEM
AND CELEBRITY TRUMPS ALL…

DON’T LOOK TO THE SKY
FOR REFLECTIONS CANDOUR WILL SHOW JUST WHO YOU ARE
EMINENCE BESTOWED
A LUST FOR GRANDEUR ECLIPSING TRUTH
SUICIDE, SUICIDE, DON’T YOU KNOW ME?
WILLINGLY SUBMITS AS PRESTIGE CALLS
TO LOVE. TO WORSHIP WITH VERMIN SMILE

SUCCESS BE MEASURED AS STATUS SHINES
DECREED IN NOTABILITY
FOR HE SHALL RISE, TO CONQUER ALL

FOR ALL EYES TURNED TO THE STARLIT HAND
THAT GUIDES, MANIPULATES
BORN OF FLICKERS, OF SERPENT TONGUE
BORN OF FLICKERS, OF SERPENT TONGUE
TO FEED THEM OFFAL AND EAT IT
A GIFT UNDONE

ANOTHER ICON REPLACES ANOTHER GOD
HOLLOW.
A SHALLOW MASK CONCEALS ALL THAT HIDES BEHIND THIS VACANT STARE THAT BLINDS AND BINDS
WE GIVE THEM EVERYTHING, WE YIELD TO ESTEEM

AS CELEBRITY TRUMPS ALL
