Concede. Repent. Destroy.

Mayhem knew exactly what day it was and everything was lining up exactly as he had planned it to. At that point in time, the hall was taking in more and more guests and soon it would be time to start the night. He had invited friends, he had claimed it was a celebration to others; however, Mayhem was in mourning. He was angry, manic. After six years of loneliness and a longing for a certain love he ended up with nothing. He didn't know how he was going to live out the rest of his days, but he did know how he was going to handle this specific night. Mayhem was going to get up on stage and get manic before the crowd, and they were going to love him. The irony of it all. Everyone was going to love him except the one he wanted most. Mayhem stopped in front of the mirror, buttoning up the last button to his dark shirt. He was scowling at his reflection before turning and smiling as he went for the doors. A spotlight focused on him as he came out and stepped onto the small stage of The Obsidian Hall. One of his band mates handed him a microphone and he happily took it.
"Good evening everyone! Thank you so much for coming and thank you to everyone who waited patiently to see my face! I'm Mayhem Cadaver.. The owner of this dance hall you sweet darlings have found yourself in. Our night is going to be a lovely one and I'll get us started!" Mayhem turned back around, pausing for a moment before he immediately began singing.

"Just one taste a night..
Is never enough to appease mee
Cos I’m looosing the fight
Oh honey, you know it ain’t easyy
To hide all my scars
You know I don’t want to scare youu
Cos I’m falling apart
And I couldn’t stop it if I wanted to..

The mooooonliight excites me!
As the dancing masses begin to twirl!
No my heart isn’t free!
But it beats in time with the Underworrrld!
I’ve made up my mind
I’m not gonna wait til they cast the stone
I’ve left my old life behind!
So that the broken hearts don’t have to feel aloone

So I’ll drain my body of everythiiing...
If it pleases youuu.. like I want it tooo..
Soo take a breath
Turn out the lights
We’ll rise agaaaaaaiiin
And sing for all the…

Wasted Shadows of the liiiiiight!
This City’s caaalling out toniiiight, It calls
For sacrifice-- Well I’ve paid my price!
With all the vows I’ve broken!
And friendships I’ve forsaken just for you!

My armour’s in pieces!
But I’ll bare my soul when, you say the word
All you hungry creatures lick my open wouuunds…
I’ll take any drug just to keep me moving
And I’ll break every bone in my body to prove
Oh but it’s never enough
No no it’s never enough!
Now it’s taking control!

And I’ll drain my body of everything..
..If it pleases you.. I would die for youu..

Wasted Shadows of the liiiight!
This City’s caalling out toniiiight!
For pain and pleasure intertwined, and nooot
Some heartless hollow of the miiiind!
So we’ll rise on like the morning Suuun!
And bare our souls for everyone to see
We arrree prisoners of yooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Mayhem could feel himself growing manic, so he grabbed a guitar and began shredding angrily. He took a microphone to scream into, letting his frustrations out for a brief moment. He stopped, his voice growing gentle as he cupped the microphone in both hands, almost delicately.

"Feels like aaa dreaaaaam flowing innnn and out of controooooool..!

Wasted Shadows of the liiiiight!
This City’s caaalling out toniiiiiight!
For pain and pleasure intertwiined, and not 
Some heartless hollow of the miiiind! 
Forgeeeeet your paaaaaaaain (your paaiiin!)
Ignoooore the saaaaaaaaaane 
It’s cleaaar, we arrrreeee.. prisoners of yooooooooooooouuuu!"
