(Verse 1)
Graceful steps upon the marble floor
A face like dawn, no sorrow to endure
Wings spread wide, a heavenly sight to see
Enchanting eyes that long for piety
But look upon his head, where darkness takes its throne
A pitch-black hood, a shadow clearly shown
He comes not with a fire that burns and roars
But with gentle words that open hidden doors
(Pre-Chorus)
His fingers turn the pages of the sacred scroll
Seeking out the cracks to claim a hollow soul
One word is twisted, one meaning set ablaze
Until the human conscience is lost within the haze
(Chorus)
O, White Devil, deceiver in the prayer
Using Holy Names to lay a worldly snare
Clad in robes of purity, hooded in the night
Leading all the sheep away from what is right
He speaks of love, while sowing seeds of hate
The most terrifying devil is the one who claims"God is Great"
(Verse 2)
The masses gather, fanatical and cold
Swallowing his lies like honey-coated gold
"Crush the different!" he commands with calm
Quoting verses of war as a healing balm
They bow before the shadow resting on his brow
Thinking it’s a crown to which the heavens bow
But it’s a black hole where mercy goes to die
In the hands of the White Devil, the wells of truth run dry
(Bridge)
He needs no hell to torture and chastise
He only needs a pulpit to spread his holy lies
Turning praying hands into a tightened fist
Turning tender hearts into a frozen mist
Look closely... beneath that robe so bright
His horns grow long from seeds of arrogant might
(Guitar Solo / Orchestral Swell)
(Intense, haunting, and cinematic atmosphere)
(Chorus)
O, White Devil, deceiver in the prayer
Using Holy Names to lay a worldly snare
Clad in robes of purity, hooded in the night
Leading all the sheep away from what is right
He speaks of love, while sowing seeds of hate
The most terrifying devil is the one who claims"God is Great"
(Outro)
Beware the light that casts no shadow on the ground
Beware the verse used to keep the spirits bound
The black hood is still there, lurking in the place...
Hiding behind the world’s most noble face...
(The most noble face...)
(A devil dressed in heaven...)
