Cradle Of Abaddon - DIABOLUS AVARIAE

DIABOLUS AVARIAE | Cradle Of Abaddon 🇦🇪 Technical Symphonic Black Metal / Melodic Extreme Metal [INTRO] “Avaritia…” “Avaritia…” “Avaritia…” In corde hominis, nascitur daemon. In desiderio, crescit infernus. The Devil of Greed awakens. [VIRSE 1] Born from the hunger beneath the skin, A golden serpent coils within. It whispers softly, “Take… possess…” Until desire becomes excess. You built your kingdoms out of bones, You crowned your greed upon your thrones. Every treasure, every crown, Will drag your damned soul underground. [PRE-CHORUS] “Aurum! Potestas! Dominatio!” Gold! Power! Dominion! “Semper plus… semper plus…” Always more… ALWAYS MORE! [CHORUS] DIABOLUS AVARITIAE! THE DEVIL OF GREED! He feeds upon the hearts of kings, He poisons everything they seek. DIABOLUS AVARITIAE! THE MASTER OF DESIRE! You worship gold You worship power You sacrifice your soul UPON THE ALTAR OF THE LIAR! Count the coins! ONE! Count the dead! TWO! Build another palace While the starving crawl below! TAKE! CONSUME! CORRUPT! DEVOUR! Your hunger has no end! [VERSE II] The beggar cries beneath your gate, You feast upon another's fate. Your jeweled hands refuse to give, Yet you pretend that you know how to live. You buy the truth. You sell the lie. You drain the earth beneath the sky. And every throne you proudly claim Is merely kindling for your flame. [OPERATIC INTERLUDE] “O miserabilis anima…” “Serva cupiditatis…” O miserable soul, Slave of desire. “Aurum te vincit…” “Et cor tuum moritur…” Gold has conquered you, And your heart is dying. [BREAKDOWN] [DEEP GROWLS] YOU WANTED THE WORLD! YOU WANTED THE THRONE! YOU WANTED EVERYTHING! BUT NOW THE GOLD CANNOT SAVE YOU! THE CROWN CANNOT SAVE YOU! THE POWER CANNOT SAVE YOU! NOTHING CAN SAVE THE SOUL THAT WORSHIPS GREED! “DIABOLUS AVARITIAE!” “REX CUPIDITATIS!” King of desire! “DOMINUS AVARORUM!” Lord of the greedy! “Aurum in pulverem…” “Regna in cineres…” Gold becomes dust. Kingdoms become ashes. I SEE YOUR EMPIRE BURN! I SEE YOUR GOLD TURN BLACK! I SEE THE THRONE YOU WORSHIP COLLAPSING AT YOUR BACK! You sold your soul for endless wealth, You sacrificed your heart itself. And when the final bell is heard THE DEVIL WILL DEMAND THE PRICE OF EVERY WORD! [FINAL CHORUS] DIABOLUS AVARITIAE! THE DEVIL OF GREED! Rise from the shadows! Crawl through the bloodless night! DIABOLUS AVARITIAE! CONSUME THEIR EMPTY LIGHT! Every crown shall shatter, Every empire bleed FOR NOTHING EVER SATISFIES THE HEART THAT WORSHIPS GREED! [OUTRO] “Omnia habes…” “Nihil possides…” You possess everything… Yet you own nothing. “Avaritia…” The demon laughs. The kingdom dies. The gold turns to dust. And beneath the ruins— the Devil of Greed is still hungry. “Semper plus…” Always more… DIABOLUS AVARITIAE.
