lyrics

The Devil can't take it if you give it away, you cannot keep it if he asks you to stay.
So be wise in your choosing of this I am sure. Because once you say yes, you cannot return.

From witches 2 wizards you'll meet them all, the angry, the wicked, from big to the small. They will tell you a story from all it's the same, word by strong word they call him by name.
They say he had started like all beings did. Every cell full of peace, no darkness within.
From boy until man he grew in such site. Happy and joyful no vigorless spite.

But there was a day when everything changed. It came like the wind, it then had no name. It tore through his head and twisted his gut. It pulsed through his veins and he seethed with disgust.
He screamed and he yelled while his body turned red, he grew a long tail and horns on his head. His nails grew longer his teeth turned to fangs. Ever wondering why this sin had no name.

And overnight this man turned to beast, screaming the name of immortal defeat.
The question remains what sin turned him bad? When I got there I asked him and this made him mad.
"For so many years I have never been asked, but you have the gall to bring up my past?"
I want to know what made him that way. So maybe some day, man wouldn't pay.
"I'll give you the answer he says with a smile, for a small price, nothing you require. Your soul for a word, the word that doomed me."

So the contract was sealed and signed with my blood. He whispered the word then took me above.
"Live out your life, I'll see you soon. But remember the contract from me with you. If you tell a soul that contract is breached, I will take your soul even living in peace."

So it came like the wind, it then had no name, it aches in my head and I'm seething in pain.

There is only one question that you have to know. Is the answer to you worth only your soul?

~Jeremy Kennedy

about

The Anthropophobia Project Vancouver, Washington

I use music as my diary. I’m not terribly good with words, so I use melody to express myself. I use sound as a therapeutic outlet for emotions and feelings. Even though there are few lyrics, I wear my feelings on my sleeve. It’s the only place I’m able to open up completely. I was apprehensive releasing such personal songs, but the act of letting go is part of the therapeutic process. ... more
