Demon King
Brand of Sacrifice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I control the largest territory in the world that I have conquered
Even if it's blood-smeared and defiled
(This world)
This world belongs to me

This world belongs to me
For I've taken everything
This world belongs to me
I am the demon king

Life in this world it's all darkness
I will reign over this unclean world

I will ascend
Survival is based on my devotion
I will depend on none other than myself
I will instill fear in the masses
So begins the reign of the demon king

The great emperor with viperine composure
Cultivated through the slaying of my enemies
Even when they dare follow the hawk of light
They will have no choice but to submit
(I have)
I have brought this to fruition
With my own two hands, I'll make this world a prison

I will ascend
Survival is based on my devotion
I will depend on none other than myself
I will instill fear in the masses
So begins the reign of the demon king

What are the chances I break?
(That I break)
Come to my senses or annihilate?
I've gained the power of the God Hand
So what am I so afraid of?
What is this raw energy?
I won't survive this
My mind is deceived

Decimate every deity
I have transcended
I have depended on myself alone
(Breathe)
I am losing my mind
I've lost everything

I will ascend
Survival is based on my devotion
I will depend on none other than myself
I will instill fear in the masses
Or has my reign come to an end?

I will ascend
Survival is based on my devotion
I will depend on none other than myself




I will instill fear in the masses
So begins the reign of the demon king

Overall Meaning

The song "Demon King" by Brand of Sacrifice tells the story of a powerful figure, the titular "demon king", who has conquered and dominates the entire world. The lyrics convey a sense of absolute power and control, as the demon king proclaims that he has taken everything and that the world belongs to him. He is depicted as a ruthless ruler who instills fear in the masses and sees himself as the only one worthy of dependence.


The demon king's power comes at a cost, however. The lyrics suggest that he has lost touch with reality and may be on the verge of a breakdown. He questions his own sanity and struggles with the fear that his power will ultimately consume him. Despite this, he continues to assert his dominance and vow to instill fear in all those who challenge him.


The song's lyrics paint a vivid and compelling picture of a character consumed by his own power and the desperate struggle to maintain that power at all costs.

@JoshuaProtz

@@AscendedPOT No, its about Ganishka, @NeonDoomPyre is right.

The great emperor with viperine composure
Cultivated through the slaying of my enemies
Even when they dare follow the hawk of light
They will have no choice but to submit

Ganishka is an Emperor, Griffith is a King by marriage.

He even calls out the hawk of light's followers and says they will submit to Ganishka.
