Razor

Red eyes, bull horns, razor sharp canines Isn’t that how a demon is defined? I believed the same, I was afraid of the dark Silly me believed the light would drive him off. But mind you I was young, naïve even How could I have known the real demon? Now that I am older, I have met him in person For now he dwells inside me No horns, no teeth, still terrifies me.

How can anyone disprove my fantastical theory if simplicity is off the table?

Right as she slices the monsters to bits, the songs plays the chorus, singing “Razor sharp”. This song is not really about anything. It just has an amazing beat and catchy lyrics. The song describes the sword and how sharp it is. The reason I chose it was because the bass drop sounds amazing and it goes well with Anda’s sword slicing…
