Mastermind

I came down just as soon as I heard

Of the imp stood accused of a devilish crime

Could it be that a worm such as this half-a-brain

Could concoct such a plot so sublime?

Does this fool deserve the flame

Or is someone else to blame?

"Like who?" You ask?

Some kind of mastermind, a mind behind the plan

Some villain's grand design to use the book to breach the world of man

Could he be roaming free, scheming more mastermindery?

Will he rest? Who knows what he may unleash

Next, do you execute this little wretch

Pat yourself on the back, close the case?

Let this imp take the blame, take the fame

Let his name light a fire in the hearts of his race?

Why, it's more than I can bear

I must make all of hell aware

Fuck it!

I am the mastermind, the hand that holds the strings

No simple imp of mine could master the disaster, oh, it stings

That you thought you had caught the schemer of the schemes I wrought!

I confess! It was me, and I have no regrets

I have regrets

Why am I throwing my freedom away for this idiot? (What have you done?)

I would rather be dead

Than live life without you by my side (I can't live life without you by my side)

So if it keeps you alive (what are you doing? I don't deserve this!)

I am the mastermind, the master of my fate (I realized too late)

Sure as the stars have shined, I'll give my life to clean your slate (don't give your life to clean my slate)

You're my light

You're my heart

Only death can rend our love apart

Well, isn't that adorable?

We have been betrayed by one of our own

A Goetic demon

Your hubris has gotten the better of you, Prince Stolas

I am the mastermind, and here, I am the law (he is the law)

I've ruled the endless dark since long before the golden angels fall

So you see, next to me your master plans all look so small

Little mice, when you break my rules, you pay the price
