    The summoning circle has been drawn. The candles have been lit. The inscriptions have been recited. As the ritual ends, you look up and find a well dressed man in a suit standing before you.... at least - you think he's a man. He has the body of a man, but in his hands he holds a large skull of an animal you don't recognize above his face. Or maybe it is his face... You have enough strength to ask who he is, but you already know before he tells you. "I'm The Devil", he replies.

    Blue Stahli's sophomore album The Devil has been gaining momentum for some time, with two chapters being released in order to prepare fans for the eclectic new tone this album brings. Never one to give the audience what they expect, Blue Stahli moves with the grace of something otherworldly in between genres as if they have never existed at all. From heavy metal guitar riffs that sound most at home in a run-down dive bar under catch pop vocals that you swear you've heard on the radio, or bass-heavy, lo-fi swamp stomper blues along side tracks with glitched out electronics, hip-hop beats and even a dash of 8-bit flair, you'll hear the perfect mixture of dark, mysterious, alluring and infectious that you would expect from an album called The Devil. Summoning the assistance of Emma Anzai (Sick Puppies) for her unique brand of bass guitar mastery, Mark Salomon (Stavesacre, Neon Horse, and The Crucified) for his trademark vocal work, and Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, Blessthefall) to mix it all together, Blue Stahli delivers an album that has to be heard to be believed. Just be warned, once you summon The Devil, you'll never get rid of it....

-VERSE- On endless floors And corridors Weak but not broken And through the rust It's hunting us The last breath is spoken -CHORUS- You'll never stop me, stop me I'll bring an army with me It's never over, over And it's not over til we say so -VERSE- It keeps us here And knows our fear A kindred divider So stand up to The path we knew We'll scream through the wires -CHORUS- You'll never stop me, stop me I'll bring an army with me It's never over, over And it's not over til we say so

Armageddon 03:30
-VERSE- I am the beast I am the earth I am the blood that fills the sky I am the feast of famine thirst And every will to justify -CHORUS- It's every day and every night My own war To take it head on With every wrong  And every right Back for more It's armageddon -HOOK- Armageddon Come, come and get it Armageddon, baby Armageddon Come, come and get it -VERSE- I am the flesh I am the flame A temple to carnality We are enmeshed Sacred, profane Reflected through brutality -CHORUS- It's every day and every night My own war To take it head on With every wrong  And every right Back for more It's armageddon -HOOK- Armageddon Come, come and get it Armageddon, baby Armageddon Come, come and get it

-VERSE 1- Shame Wear the pity and the blame Basking in the glow A lovely crown of thorns Cliche Overdramatic display An unwelcome show Of steady undertow -CHORUS- You'll make 'em watch while you go down in flames Self-inflicted pretty little martyr If forcing empathy Is as clever as you can be We'll gladly watch while you go down in flames Burn baby burn -VERSE 2- Vain You're the Abel and the Cain No coincidence You crave an audience Stray Committed to the decay Fake mercy pose And on and on it goes -CHORUS- You'll make 'em watch while you go down in flames Self-inflicted pretty little martyr If forcing empathy Is as clever as you can be We'll gladly watch while you go down in flames Burn baby burn

Enemy 03:48
-Verse- Lost In the time In the way Gone but not forgotten New Secret crimes To repay Now the walls have fallen -Pre Chorus- And so it's now or never -Chorus- I'm breathing in I'm breathing out I'll cut the ties that hold me down I'm breathing in I'm breathing out I'll be the enemy -Verse 2- Caught Quicksand grip Pull me in Whisper faith in sickness Soon Kill the myth I'll begin Be the first to witness -Pre Chorus- And so it's now or never -Chorus- I'm breathing in I'm breathing out I'll cut the ties that hold me down I'm breathing in I'm breathing out I'll be the enemy
6.
-VERSE- Seven million strung out on ambition Sea of relay high rise in remission All with a hope and a plan to make it out Give up the ghost when they try to push it down Now -CHORUS- Ready, Aim, Fire -VERSE- Die a thousand deaths in hesitation  Far beyond the spark of inspiration Close to the soul and away from all the doubt Live what is known when you hear the softest sound Say -CHORUS- Ready, Aim, Fire
7.
Rockstar 03:45
-VERSE- They tell you that You're staying here In white walled observation It's terminal Or so they fear Well-meaning resignation -PRE CHORUS- Whenever you feel that the world is a lie A cruel and merciless hope homicide You gotta fight it with everything you have inside -CHORUS- You are a rockstar A superhero Get up, get up And show 'em what you're made of You know what you are So let the fear go Get up, get up And show 'em what you're made of -VERSE- Adversity A souvenir To spark your transformation Tenacity Is growing near And here's the inspiration -PRE CHORUS- Whenever you feel that the world is a lie A cruel and merciless hope homicide You gotta fight it with everything you have inside -CHORUS- You are a rockstar A superhero Get up, get up And show 'em what you're made of You know what you are So let the fear go Get up, get up And show 'em what you're made of
8.
The Fall 03:47
-VERSE 1- You've bought all the happiness But you still want more Parade all that you possess Though there's no one keeping score Dreaming of vertigo From the highest fame Feeling the undertow When it starts to break -CHORUS- Everything will fall away Someday All that's real is what remains To always -VERSE 2- A cage of the tangible All you had to own You poor social cannibal What's left when you lose the throne We're of the same affair Pride before the fall We'll see what's truly there When it takes us all -CHORUS- Everything will fall away Someday All that's real is what remains To always
9.
Shoot Em Up 04:12
-VERSE- We'll put your picture on a magazine Gotta get your face on a video screen We'll make you famous if you're helping us out Boost the ratings with the panic route That's the way That's the way You gotta Give 'em all a show -PRE CHORUS- Get your gun, get your gun baby And shoot it up, shoot it up -CHORUS- We'll help you pull the trigger We'll tell you what to say Just leave it all up to us and We'll help you make 'em pay We'll help you pull the trigger We'll tell you what to say Just leave it all up to us and We'll help you make 'em pay -VERSE- It doesn't matter if you disagree We're making it hand over fist on tragedy The revolution will be televised But just the part that we can monetize That's the way That's the way You gotta Give 'em all a show -PRE CHORUS- Get your gun, get your gun baby And shoot it up, shoot it up -CHORUS- We'll help you pull the trigger We'll tell you what to say Just leave it all up to us and We'll help you make 'em pay We'll help you pull the trigger We'll tell you what to say Just leave it all up to us and We'll help you make 'em pay
10.
-VERSE- Get what you give I always say Be careful who you trust A friendly shiv A sad cliche The disingenuous If what you see Is what you get You show a second face It's treachery In silhouette So here's the coup de grace -CHORUS- You'll get what's coming to you You'll get what's coming -VERSE- The quest for fame Does not impress If that's the model trait A petty game To dispossess Who you manipulate The veil is thin And minimal  The key to your success The plan to win Political It's who you suck the best -CHORUS- You'll get what's coming to you You'll get what's coming
11.
The Devil 03:59
-VERSE- Forcing of the hand A whisper in the ear Spirit of enabling Sinister command Of what I want to hear I'm the only one who pulls my strings -CHORUS- I'm the devil Living in the pride I'm the devil No one's hands are tied I'm the devil Damnation dignified I'm the devil And it's only me inside -VERSE- Why would you pretend Your will is not your own Claiming something pushed you there Don't mean to condescend But it's you and you alone You're the architect of your despair -CHORUS- And I'm the devil Living in the pride I'm the devil No one's hands are tied I'm the devil Damnation dignified I'm the devil And it's only me inside
12.
Demon 04:55
-VERSE- I said "Lord, lord, lord" It's a long dark road And my tongue's a sword When speaking gold In my deep down soul I am flies and blood And it's black as coal In this heart of mud -CHORUS- And they say, "You got a demon" -VERSE- And I'm home sweet home Like a herd of swine And the seeds I've sewn Well they're mine all mine They're down so low In floorboard rest There's a great big hole Straight through my chest -CHORUS- And they say, "You got a demon"
