*Recall the deeds as if they're all
Someone else's atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about making your amends
To the dead
To the dead

With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping

[...]

Your halo slipping down
To choke you now

~A Perfect Circle - the noose

Deamon: a little more than just a lunatic fanatic - emperor, visionary, martyrer; devoted leader to his people and devoted lover to his partners; willing to do whatever if it frees the dogs of Teramar from the threats he sees in his holy flames - but a fanatic nonetheless.
