Epilogue

The king of the crystal kingdom made a mistake when he decided that my life was his to take

As they were the first nine demons now as I am dead they will also be the last nine

Chapter ten

Traveling through this dreamlike kingdom ruled by the first nine crystal demon kings

There is no way of refusing these visions if I ever want back my wings

I have to break these chains that the nine are using to hold me down

Knowing what will happen should I simply try and refuse to drown

I have to climb the spiritual mountain and speak to the old man up high

The mighty and dead father above will hear my prayers and take me to the circle were gods can die

On the dark side of his gravestone I kneel and speak the nine words from my chain

And as I rise blood runs my eyes as I realize that only real lies truly dies so I throw the dice

With this wisdom in mind I descend through the nine circles hell

Ready to confront my fate for it was I who gave the demons life

Through sacrifice

Inhuman human sacrifice

Now I must pay the price

And take back what’s mine

I stand before this mighty palace

The castle in the air made of ice

And human screams of death

No weapons in hand and ready to die

Through dreams I learned to understand the nine words in my chain

This second journey through the kingdom has taken me back to the final palace

The body of the ninth demon stand tall strong and proud before me

Because I was weak in mind my life was a lie and I deserve to die
