The Catalyst

Liberated

In the decaying sprawl of Forever City, where the last remnants of humanity survive beneath steel skies and machine-lit cathedrals, a war for the soul of existence erupts. The once-holy metropolis, now ruled by the artificial messiah Clementine, drowns in false divinity and mechanical faith.

From the ruins below rises Donovan Vythe and his faithful outcasts, The Nazarenes, igniting a rebellion to reclaim what little humanity remains. Guided by the fractured android known as Mr. Mannequin, they fight not just against the tyranny of machines, but against the erosion of faith itself.

Forever Ends Tonight is a brutal and cinematic metalcore concept album, a story of sacrifice, redemption, and the blurred line between salvation and circuitry. Through towering riffs, visceral screams, and moments of haunting melody, it asks one question that echoes through the ruins:

“When gods are built from code and steel... who teaches them to believe?”

“The Devil You Made” is a hymn for the broken — a confession turned rebellion. Metal, synth, and sax collide in a roar of vengeance and liberation. You built the cage, I became the flame. Now live with what you created.

You made the devil — now live with him.
(Back: “Live with him…”
You broke me once — I won’t forgive.
(Back: “Won’t forgive…”)

[Verse 1]
Raised on fear, dressed in shame,
Called it love, taught me blame.
Every rule cut like wire,
So I learned to breathe in fire.
Silver tongues, holy grin,
Painted halos over sin.
You said “heal” while you twist the knife—
I became your second life.

[Pre-Chorus]
You call it care when it’s control,
I felt the cage around my soul.

No more chains!

[Chorus]
You made the devil — now live with him.
(Back: “Live with him…”)
You broke me once — I won’t forgive.
(Back: “Won’t forgive…”)
I wear your scars like gasoline—
Watch me burn through everything.

[Verse 2]
Fed me lies, starved me truth,
Bent my spine, branded youth.
Called me “saved” while I sank,
Blessed the leash, pulled the plank.
I’m the mirror you designed,
All your darkness, re-aligned.
Say my ruin was my choice—
Hear your echo in my voice.

[Bridge]
You taught me how to crawl, how to beg, how to break.
Now watch me stand.
I TAKE IT BACK.
I WON’T KNEEL — I WON’T DIM.
EVERY WOUND — OVERFLOWS THE RIM.
LIGHT THE MATCH — SAY MY NAME.
I’M YOUR WORK — I’M NOT YOUR SHAME.

[Chorus]
You made the devil — now live with him.
(Back: “Live with him…”)
You broke me once — I won’t forgive.
(Back: “Won’t forgive…”)
I wear your scars like gasoline—
Watch me burn through everything.
BURN THROUGH EVERYTHING!

[Outro]
You built the fire.
He learned my name.
Now you can live with him.
