About:
This song tells the story of ZELVAR, the demon of greed, as he steps into the human world. Within a magnificent palace, those consumed by endless ambition gather, chasing ever greater wealth, power, and status. Yet the more they gain, the deeper they fall into his trap—thirsty, and forever unsatisfied. Greed is a vice that leaves the soul imprisoned and alone the moment you ‘close your eyes’ and surrender to its temptation. No matter how much you possess, it will never be enough

Translation for lyrics:
Never close your eyes
Like a yellowed doll with nothing within
Never close your eyes
Shadows spread, they silently wait untill it’s dark
Never close your eyes
Or he will turn you into a slave
Never close your eyes
You’ll drown in a chalice of poison
Bite bite feed
Bite then take a sip
Never close your eyes they’re just seductive lies
Never close your eyes, you’re tangled in his ties
He’ll feast on you if you fall asleep
You — a slave to your desire
You sacrifice what you hold dear
Blinded by the myth
Never close your eyes, or he will turn you into a slave
Never close your eyes, you’ll drown in a chalice of poison
Obsessed with grandeur, bound by greed
You raised yourselves too high — you’ll serve eternally
When you close your eyes
Shoulder to shoulder
You will drink the filth
Masks will fall
Golden masks will crack
Blinded by greed, drowned in illusion
Never close your eyes
Never close your eyes — you will become a slave
Never close your eyes — he has a thousand teeth
Consumed by greed, possessed by grandeur
You rose too high — you’ll serve eternally
Never close your eyes — he’s waiting
Never close your eyes — he’s pulling you
Consumed by greed, possessed
You rose too high — you will serve
