“Belial” is a Hebrew word used to characterize the wicked or worthless, and later became a term to personify the Devil in Jewish and Christian texts.
This song is told from the perspective of the devil, describing his power and his will to infect us with his evil.
[Verse 1]
Can't you feel it?
I am the virus feeding you lies
I am the virus convincing you to die
Give me all your trust
Let me lead you astray
Let me lead you away (Into the darkness)
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't you feel it?
Corruption spreading from my open mouth
Can't you feel it?
Ripping salvation from your open hands
You're my captives, I hold your chains
I'll never set you free
You are my marionette
And I'll never let you leave
[Chorus]
Can't you feel it rising?
Unrest burning in your soul
Defiant until the end of time (End of time)
I will take control!
[Post-Chorus]
Take control
[Verse 2]
I defy you Great Deceiver
I'll never be the one who falls
I'll rule from up on high
Watch me take it all
[Bridge]
You can't...
You can't cast me out!
I will get revenge
Get down on your knees
Fall beneath me
And I'll be the one that kills you
[Chorus]
Can't you feel it rising?
Unrest burning in your soul
Defiant until the end of time
I will take control
[Outro]
Take control
