The devil promises everything, and then let's you destroy your own world.

The best laid plans of men.. Don't always come to fruition. As the saying goes, Man proposes, but God disposes.

The time for mercy has passed. Now our punishment begins.
Fire consumes all, and water cleanses.
It separates the foul from the pure, the wicked from the innocent.
And that which sinks from that which rises.
He destroys all, but only to start again.
