'Eternal Punishment' is about a man falling in love.

People initally hear this song and think it's about something evil or satanic, and that is what comes across if you take the the words at face value. But when I wrote the song, I was trying to be a little more creative when describing a man falling in love and this is what came out. I guess it's just my dark nature.

I've conjured up a spirit that I can't control
I feel myself getting weaker, losing touch with my soul
My charms can no longer protect me from your sorcery
I can't stop this possession, I'm writhing in ecstasy

Your curse makes every muscle in my body ache
My bones, they feel so brittle I think that they're about to break
My stomach is tied in a wretched knot
By summoning your demons I deserve exactly what I got

Through the darkness I heard the incantations whisper from your lips
I witnessed the silent ritual spoken by your hips
Seduced by your evil now it's too late to repent
I was too enthralled by the lust to fear eternal punishment

You've sunk your claws deep into my skull
Penetrating my brain, infecting it with evil
Converting my faith into one of blasphemy
Where were you my father when I needed you to save me?

I'm possessed by a spirit that I can't control
I've turned over the reigns of my mortal soul
Now that I've tasted evil my body craves more
If I would have known the pleasure I would have summoned you before

Through the darkness I heard the incantations whisper from your lips
I witnessed the silent ritual spoken by your hips
Seduced by your evil now it's too late to repent
I was too enthralled by the lust to fear eternal punishment
