DEMON SERVANT: Your highness?
The extermination will soon be upon us and you wished to be informed...

LUCIFER: Indeed I did
Though I suppose I shouldn't have bothered asking
Every year, without fail... on the dot
Just like you isn't it?

DEMON SERVANT: My lord?

LUCIFER: Ah pay it no mind
Nothing more than the musings of a king watching a repeated intrusion on his domain

DEMON SERVANT: If I may say so.. I agree that it seems excessive for Heaven to enact this decree. Much like young Charlotte says, I believe that-

LUCIFER: Do not mistake me for sharing my daughter's naive view
She dislikes the cleanses out of some moral objective to taking life
In HELL, of all places..
I dislike them because it's simply those HOLY cretins trying to force their order where it doesn't belong
All the more reason I'm going to enjoy this...

DEMON SERVANT: Enjoy what my lord?

LUCIFER: Mm I figured it was about time I went to see what these 'Exterminators' are really capable of for myself
Clearly effective against the lower classes...
But I doubt they've even come close to facing someone like me
And the lessers of this world could also use the reminder of who's really in charge

DEMON SERVANT: Face you..?!
Your highness, with all due respect, is that wise?
Knowing what.. they can do...?

LUCIFER: Do you forget who you address?
They've never faced one of their OWN before

*BELL DONGS IN DISTANCE*

LUCIFER: Ah! And there it is!
Please pass on my insistence to Lilith that she remain inside until this is over

DEMON SERVANT: For her safety, sir?

LUCIFER: Oh no! If my beloved knew I was going out in this, she'd want to join me..!
And she'd end up stealing the show as she so often does...
Back soon!

DEMON SERVANT: Very well, your highness...

LUCIFER (To himself): They think those things are some special breed of MONSTER made just for erasing them
If only they knew the truth of things up there...
Isn't that right, FATHER?


**SINGING COMMENCES**

It started long before me
I never saw it coming
The distance
The promise
A state of Isolation
And in my darkest Nightmare
Things that I can't remember
The answer is Drowning
This pain will last forever

**CHORUS**
My Father
His Duty
His Orders

My Brothers
The Promise
The Breaking

Rejection
Deception
Reflection
Conception

The Missing
The Torture
The Madness
The Sadness
Can this be...

Or is it...?

**PLAYFUL TALKING**
Guess who boys?
My, my, its been a long time since I've seen any of you in the flesh...
Perhaps we could call this my
'Triumphant return to the flock'
As it were?

**SINGING RESUMES**

The shadow cast before me
I walk inside your circle
Protect me
Correct me
You've got your orders, soldier
Inside, My head is humming
Sometimes I hear them coming
The power
Believing
The hate I hate believing

**CHORUS**
What is this?
It can't be
Who are you?

I know you...
You wouldn't
Or would you?

Don't fight me
Ignite me!
My trigger
Your finger

Your darkness
I know it...
Come forward!
I've seen it
I mean it

Your power is over

I've come to
CHANGE THE ORDER
My training is perfect
I'm back again
Your promise is broken
I drank your sacred water
My mission is Holy
I'm back...

**TALKING**
Is this truly what all of the commoners are afraid of?
The lowly foot soldiers of a leader who doesn't want to get his own hands dirty...

**CHORUS REPRISE**
My Father
His Duty
His Orders

My Brothers
The Promise
The breaking

Rejection
Deception
Reflection
Conception

The Missing
The Torture
The Madness
The Sadness
Can this be...?

Your power is over

I've come to
CHANGE THE ORDER
My training is perfect
I'm back again
Your promise is broken
I drank your sacred water
My mission is Holy
I'm back...

**LIGHT EVIL LAUGHTER**

You have your orders, soldier...
