Possessed
Devoid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Damnation of your soul
Possessed by the demon god
Black forces I hold
Hell is where I shall tread
Infernal hole
Symbol of impurity
Forever I will roam
Till the day you burn
Demoniac energy
Rots your soul
Evil impels through your veins Consume Yourself
Lashes of sins bleeding black
Unholy realm
I in you
Till the day you burn
Demoniac Energy
Rots your soul
Watch the head turn
Watch my soul burn
This sow is mine
Buring smell at 3am
The witching hour is upon you
Your visions fade as putrid vile
The Touch of his hand wringing you
Belial
Legion
Nero
Lucifer's in you
Wretched smiles and tears of blood
Insides now rot in His unholy realm
Exorcist and priests alike
Have laid down their souls
God stands as witness tonight
The Adversary rules
I in you
Till the day you burn
Demoniac energy
Rots your soul
The lyrics of Devoid's song Possessed are dark and haunting, speaking of possession by demonic forces that consume the body and soul. The first two lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer seeking the body of another person in order to sustain themselves. The next two lines suggest that this possession is not just physical but spiritual as well, with the demon god possessing the victim's soul. The singer speaks of themselves holding black forces and intends to tread through hell, symbolizing their embrace of impurity and evil.
The chorus is a repetition of the opening lines, with the addition of "demoniac energy rots your soul" implying that the victim's soul will be destroyed by the possession. In the following verse, the demon's power takes hold, and the victim becomes consumed by the evil within them. The singer refers to "Lashes of sins bleeding black" suggesting the physical manifestation of the victim's torment. The song continues with the singer identifying the demon entities they associate themselves with - Belial, Legion, Nero and Lucifer. The final verse speaks of those who have tried to exorcise the demon from the victim, but all have been unsuccessful, ultimately insinuating the triumph of evil over good.
