The Lord of Evil (song)

**The Lord of Evil** is the fifth song of the "Seven Heavenly Virtues Series" and the first song of the "Story of Evil Series." It depicts the virtue of Humility.

## Plot

The song takes place in Marlon, a country stated to be of unspeakable inhumanity, and ruled by King Kyle Marlon. The song goes on to list how he has a servant that looks similar to him as well as all the treasures of the world. He acquired these treasures from taxing the peasants in his kingdom and expressed an intent to have his servants destroy everything in his way.

On top of this, he loves Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche, the blonde-haired princess from another country. However, instead of the king, she betrays him and chooses the green-haired Eater. Stricken with despair, his servants order the destruction of the man's country and all the men in it as retribution. Many houses are burned down and many people suffer, but Kyle only focuses on having teatime with his allies.

Finally, all the citizens of Marlon conspire to take down the king. They are led by a swordswoman wearing red armor, and are not stopped by soldiers due to the tolls of the war with Elphegort. At last, they surround the castle, although all of the servants had already fled. The "king" does not put up a fight and is finally captured. He is scheduled to be executed at three o'clock; at that time, he looks upon the crowd and simply says "Oh, it's tea time" before being beheaded.

## Lyrics

*Oh ho ho ho ho*

*Come, kneel to me*

Once upon a time

Reigning at the top

Of a fiendish kingdom

Was A noble man of blue

Luxurious and splendid furnishings

A servant whose face greatly resembled his

And a servant with golden hair

Everything, everything was his

If there isn't enough money

Take more from the poor masses

Those that would oppose him

Completely purge them

"Come, kneel to him!"

The flower of evil quietly blooms

With brilliant colors

The pitiful weeds around him

Indeed, they'll turn to nourishment and rot away

The tyrant king was in love with

A yellow woman from across the sea

Though she fell in love with

A green woman in the neighboring country

The king, stricken with grief,

Inspired his cabinet members

To say in quiet voices

"Let us send to ruin the kingdom of green"

Many houses reduced to ashes

Many lives disappearing

The suffering people's lamentations

Did not reach the king

"Oh, it's tea time"

The flower of evil quietly blooms

With maddening colors

Although it is a very lovely flower

Indeed, there are too many thorns around it

To overthrow the evil king

At last the people rose up

Leading the disorderly mob was

A swordswoman in red armor

Their rage accumulated in conviction

And wrapped up the entire country

Soldiers tired from the war

Were not a threat

Finally they surrounded the castle

As the retainers escaped

The cruel and uncaring king

At last was captured

"You insolent thugs!"

The flower of evil quietly blooms

With colors that seem sad

The paradise he lived within

Indeed will collapse, brittle and transient

Once upon a time

There was a noble king

Who reigned at the top

Of a fiendish kingdom

The time of his execution was 3PM

A time when church bells would ring

That person who was called king

What did they think, alone in jail?

Finally that time arrived

The bells signaling the end ring

Without taking notice of the crowd

She said

"Oh, it's tea time"

The flower of evil pitifully scatters

With brilliant color

Afterwards, people will say

Indeed, he was certainly the Lord of Evil
