I jumped out of bed I threw my head in a bag
Then I cut open both of my writs to make sure that I'm not dead
I rise out of a dreary slumber
To a crowd of voices prophesying a phrase
I do my best to put my finger to where their placed
Yet remain unable to recognize their location
So, I run out of a door
Doing my very best to flee the scene when I feel so many strange faces looking at me
They're all staring as if there is something I must know but have grown oblivious to
My existence has turned benign
I don't even feel like trying there seems to be this stench
An odor in the air
It's hung around ever since these humans have appeared
Oh, what a trauma it is when they cut their hair and trim their nails
I think we're all starting to smell like bleach
Yet still we'll try to look pretty for you and me
All these standards have driven me mad
My voice is broken, my lungs have given out
I can't barely stand I'm just caught in this momentum of falling down some stairs when from the back of a studio audience i see a figure raise to their feet
Beelzebub!

Well, she was an eight-foot-tall man with lots of strong muscles looking into my soul
She knew of all my fears, she knew of all my feats,
She said I'd accomplish nothing that I'd dreamed
Deep down i resented this to be true
He changed his composure, fluxuating his tone as she spoke to me listen here son
I want to make your rich,
I'll give you all the wealth of this world
All you have to do is say my word
Beelzebub!

Lend me your ears I heard her say but little did he know i was comprised of pure evil
A demon of ill intent since I was a seed even the devil could not have composed my Greed
I swallowed the manifestation
I inverted her being
I'm not longer among the mortals
For I'm Beelzebub's King!
Beelzebub!
