Cyrus: "The cathedral has a mind of its own, Cameraman. If you're not wanted, you're not allowed in. If you're not to pass a certain point... you will not cross that point. The cathedral has to trust you, it has to believe you belong to it. Many men have done battle inside these walls, but only the men worthy of the cathedral win. Your real self has to be put out for the cathedral to judge."
.:[Cyrus leans forward, the light now letting his face be seen.]:.
Cyrus: "The cathedral can sense your character, it's the ultimate lie detector. It feels remorse for it's children, those that do nothing but worship every acre of land it possesses. Those of us that follow the teachings of the Devious Cathedral become kings, we become gods among men. Not because we want to, or go searching for it, but because these walls deem we are worthy of it."
.:[Cyrus leans back, resting his head against the cold cathedral walls.]:.
Cyrus: "I tell you these things like you don't already know, but you do, don't you, Azrael? You do because you've heard the same speech before, you've done battle in the Devious Cathedral... and you've won. You, Azrael, were a child of the Devious Cathedral, you've felt its power, coursing through your veins. You know the changes it makes to a human being."
.:[Cyrus chuckled]:.
Cyrus: "But your greed, your self-righteous 'all-knowing' attitude has gotten the best of you. You live for yourself, not for these walls. You sacrifice for yourself not for that which created you, and you're paying five-fold for it. You've passed the power that you once had out like a kidney stone, useless and painful, and now it's come back to haunt you. Hasn't it, Azrael?"
.:[Cyrus shook his head and spoke softer than before.]:.
Cyrus: "You felt that power power seeping through my every pore when I sat down in your office. You felt it, and you felt the void left in your body when you let your birthright escape you. You looked into my eyes, you could tell that I hadn't stumbled into your office by chance. Something had guided me there. Something had created the right playing field for me to be there. I wasn't any ordinary off-the-street Joe. I was there for a purpose. I was there to teach you."
.:[Cyrus leapt down from the statue, landing on his feet.]:.
Cyrus: "You're right, Azrael. I was there to teach you. I didn't see it at first, but, oh LORD, I see it now. Azrael, I wasn't there to stay out of the asylum, I wasn't there for you to protect me, you sick fuck... I was there to teach you of your ways... I was there to hurt you, to better make you understand what you gave up for a life of greed and hollowness. I was there to help you remember what it is you want back so badly. What you crave. But you gave up on that, Azrael. You turned your back on repentance."
.:[Cyrus' green eyes began to turn the ice blue color that was once familiar to Cyrus.]:.
Cyrus: "You know that there is no one that can stop me from getting my hands on you, completing my birth right, Azrael. No one can stop me from ripping you to shreds, tearing your flesh off the bone like a fucking cheetah. Who? HantaKira? The SYNers? You've seen what I've done to them, you dream of what I will do to you. You know there is nothing you can do."
.:[Cyrus looked deep into the camera, his eyes now completely ice blue. He grinned.]:.
Cyrus: "It's inevitable, Azrael... I will get you... and I will destroy you. You know I will. You know you've fucked with something you can't control, don't have the power to control. You know what your fate will be, and you know that by giving me this procedure, the one promise that if you broke, you'd have someone... something far worse than I am after you. Pick your Vyrus, Azrael. Pick your fucking Vyrus."
.:[Cyrus looked at the camera again, crossing his arms over his chest. His ice blue eyes giving off an eerie feeling to the camera.]:.
You planted the seed
How my anger has grown
Got an feeling inside that I can't seem to control
You wanna see a reaction
Come on and cut me down
You've gone as far as I'll go
Now you're crossing the line and I am letting you know
Well here's your reaction
Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before I finish what you started
Face to face I will put you in your place
End this game before I finish what you started
Face to face everything will change
"Stand Up"
