Lyrics

Devil Trigger

Intro
I’ll endure the exile

Verse 1
The darkness of night falls around my soul
And the hunter within loses control
Gotta let it out, gotta let it out
Gotta let it out, gotta let it out

This demon inside has a hold of me
Clenching its power, trying to break free
Gotta let it out, gotta let it out
GOTTA LET IT OUT! GOTTA LET IT OUT!

Verse 2
Move fast, baby. Don't be slow
Step aside, reload, time to go
I can’t seem to control all this rage that’s inside me

Pullin' shots – aimin' dots – Yeah I don't miss
Branded by Fire – Born in the abyss
Red hot temper – I just can’t resist all this vengeance inside me

Pre-Chorus 01
All of these thoughts runnin' through my head
Arm on fire, veins burnin' red
Frustration is gettin' bigger
Bang Bang Bang – Pull my Devil Trigger!

Chorus 01
Embrace the darkness that's within me
No hiding in the shadows anymore
When this wickedness consumes me
Nothing can save you and there’s no way out

Verse 3
I'm a wildfire you won’t tame
Igniting my temper, can’t put out my flame
There's no way to contain this storm swelling inside me

I'm a bomb you can't defuse
Might just accept you’re gonna lose
Can’t turn down, I refuse to hold back anymore

Pre Chorus 02
All of these voices inside my head
Blinding my sight in a curtain of red
Frustration is getting bigger
Bang Bang Bang – Pull my Devil Trigger!

Chorus 02
When the night ends it's not over
We fight through to get closer
Like a silver bullet piercing through
I throw myself into you

All of these voices inside of my head
Blinding my sight in a curtain of red
Frustration is getting bigger
Bang bang bang
Pull my Devil Trigger

— "Devil Trigger", Casey Edwards feat. Ali Edwards. (Nero's Battle Theme)

Subhuman

As I stare into the eye of the coming
Apocalypse I see them reaching for my soul
I cannot erupt, I must control!
I cannot erupt, I must explode!

Funny how the mind tries to sink me deeper
As the evil tries to turn me around
I will not falter, shout at the devil
As I bury them six foot underground
The hours trapped in windowpanes
As futile eyes peer deep
The hurt nest right in
Haunting thoughts of this crumbling world

You cannot kill me! I am Omega!
You cannot kill me! I am Subhuman!
You cannot kill me! (I cannot erupt!)
I am Omega! (I must control!)
You cannot kill me! (I cannot erupt!)
I must explode!

I must not forget, that I have bled
Felt no respect for the demons in my head
Something saved me, put me out of my destiny
And dropped me safely in this hell
It seared right past me, the eyes are flashing
As I call upon the dark gift to erupt
With the devil on my back
And the demons right in front
I slash through, aim sights and settle up

You cannot kill me! I am Omega!
You cannot kill me! I am Subhuman!
You cannot kill me! (I cannot erupt!)
I am Omega! (I must control!)
You cannot kill me! (I cannot erupt!)
I must explode!

Let me out! (Hellbound!)
Let me out! (Hellbound!)

I feel the devil in me (Let me out!)
We're coming right for you (Hellbound!)
I feel the devil in me (Let me out!)
We're coming right for you (Hellbound!)

You cannot kill me! I am Omega!
You cannot kill me! I am Subhuman!
You cannot kill me! (I cannot erupt!)
I am Omega! (I must control!)
You cannot kill me! (I cannot erupt!)
I must explode!

— "Subhuman", Cody Matthew Johnson feat. Michael Barr. (Dante's Battle Theme)

Crimson Cloud

Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!
Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!

If you have to ask, it's too late
Somewhere in between, your character grace
An eye on fantasy, touching nails
Sparks fly, off of me and onto you

Brothers in the dark, fight for your life!
Devils in the dark, fight for your life!
Fight for your life! Fight for your life!

Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!
Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!

Devil in my blood, living on the edge
Split myself in two, death is all around
Summoning the power, drag myself through pain
Blood spills, off of me and on to you

Brothers in the dark, fight for your life!
Devils in the dark, fight for your life!
Fight for your life! Fight for your life!

Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!
Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!

Crimson cloud! Evening sky!
Crimson cloud! Evening sky!

Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!
Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!
Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!
Savior! Bloodstain! Hellfire! Shadow!
Heaven on a landslide!

Legacy

When those voices deep within
Bring you down to your knees again,
Redemption calls on to
All of those who persist
With the strength of the few

Don't come to question
All that you've known
Remember, you are not alone
I will be here
Standing beside you

There is no mountain
Too tall to overcome
We will be as one
You will rise again
This is your legacy

Rise again...
This is your legacy...

Don't come to question
All that you've known
Remember, you are not alone
I will be here
Standing beside you

There is no mountain
Too tall to overcome
We will be as one
You will rise again
This is your legacy

Rise again...
This is your legacy...

— "Legacy", Kota Suzuki feat. Ali Edwards (DMC 5 main theme)

Bury the Light

Immortal temptation
Takes over my mind
Condemned
Falling weak on my knees
Summon the strength
Of mayhem

I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death!

Forsakened
I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time

Inherit the nightmare
Surrounded by fate
Can't run away
Keep walking the line
Between the light
Led astray

Through vacant halls I won't surrender
The truth revealed in eyes of ember
We fight through fire and ice forever
Two souls once lost and now they remember

I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death!

Forsakened
I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time

Disappear into the night
Lost shadows left behind
Obsession's pulling me
Fading, I've come to take what's mine

Lurking in the shadows under veil of night
Constellations of blood pirouette
Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet
Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat

A derelict of dark summoned from the ashes
The puppet master congregates all the masses
Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit
You want this power?
Then come, try and take it

Beyond the tree
Fire burns
Secret love
Bloodline yearns
Dark minds embrace
Crimson joy
Does your dim heart
heal or destroy?

Bury the light deep within!
Cast aside, there's no coming home!
We're burning chaos in the wind!
Drifting in the ocean all alone!

— "Bury the Light", Casey Edwards feat. Victor Borba (Vergil's Battle Theme, DMC 5: SE)
