reporter Sam has been able to secure an
2:30
interview with
2:31
appollon this is an interesting turn of
2:33
events as this means the fifth trumpet
2:35
has sounded you got it first here on on
2:38
Christ surge news take it away
2:41
[Music]
2:48
Sam all right thank you for agreeing to
2:51
this interview p uh your reputation
2:54
predes
2:57
you speak up a little bit Sam are you
3:00
scared thank you uh but reputation can
3:03
be a double-edged sword uh Sam I suppose
3:08
you're here to cut through all that
3:09
noise though exactly many fear you but
3:13
few understand you let's start with the
3:16
basics who is a
3:17
pilot a
3:20
traveler a seeker of Truth hidden
3:24
beneath the
3:25
surface you see I came
3:28
here did you bubble gum and slay demons
3:31
and I'm fresh out of
3:34
bubblegum so you might call me a
3:37
collector of souls or
3:40
ideas some say you're a harbringer of
3:43
chaos how do you respond to
3:46
that chaos a misunderstood
3:50
friend without chaos there is no
3:52
creation it is a necessary catalyst
3:59
let's talk about your actions many
4:02
associate you with destruction
4:04
despair why do you do
4:06
it destruction is simply
4:09
transformation the old Must Fall for the
4:12
new to rise I'm merely a guide in the
4:18
process okay
4:20
but at what cost lives are lost Futures
4:23
are
4:26
dashed and yet do you not see the beauty
4:29
in rebirth look at history Sam every
4:33
Empire had to crumble to power to pave
4:37
the way for the
4:40
next but you're not just an observer you
4:43
manipulate events to instigate fear
4:49
why because
4:52
fear is a powerful
4:55
teacher it reveals the true nature of
4:58
humanity
5:00
in the darkness you find the
5:04
light speak of humanity as it's a game
5:08
to you are you not human yourself
5:11
human a
5:13
label I exist far beyond the constraints
5:17
of your
5:19
species I am a
5:25
reflection of your deepest fears and
5:28
desires
5:34
let's talk about your followers some
5:35
believe you can grant power what do you
5:38
offer them I offer them the truth then
5:41
they can break free from their chains
5:44
cuz power lies
5:46
within but it's often buried beneath
5:49
layers of
5:51
Conformity what happens to those who
5:53
follow
5:54
you they discover themselves or they
5:58
lose themselves
6:00
it's a
6:01
gamble but isn't every gamble a
6:07
risk many have faith consequences for
6:09
fallowing you is that part of your
6:14
design consequences are a form of
6:17
accountability I do not force their
6:19
hands they make their
6:24
choices do you have regret your
6:27
influence regret
6:31
regret it's a luxury that I cannot
6:35
afford cuz every choice shapes the
6:37
fabric of EX of existence and I embrace
6:41
it
6:45
all what was
6:49
that change is upon us Sam are you ready
6:52
to embrace
6:57
it why do you thrive on chaos what's
7:00
your in game in game I am the in
7:06
game I embody the
7:10
struggle my existence forces you to face
7:13
your darkest
7:17
fears and what if I refuse to play then
7:21
you miss the opportunity to truly live
7:24
CU fear can be a
7:25
prison or it can be a
7:28
key Choose
7:37
Wisely what just happened
8:02
Jesus my Lord it's time to start praying
8:05
to the father pastors parishioners alike
8:09
Now's the Time to start praying because
8:15
aalan I know I am the myth of many
8:19
Legends but I'm nothing for you to
8:22
fear I am just simply a different kind
8:25
of
8:27
Angel demons
8:30
Satan lost souls
8:33
alike it's time for me to make my
8:36
nightly
8:37
visit and close the gates of
8:42
hell and for those of you the gates get
8:44
closed
8:46
on you will never return
8:50
again because once a Pion sings once a
8:54
Pion strikes once a Pion visits
9:00
you know it's time to
9:02
burn you
9:05
see you pray to the angels of
9:09
mercy and they're the ones that soothe
9:12
you but when it comes time to
9:15
battle with Satan and his
9:19
demons Here Comes
