Alive

Darkseid Returns

ALL KNEEL, before 

The Risen God of All Evil

 

Desaad :

Welcome Home, 

oh, Mighty Darkseid. 

Darkseid :

Arise, My Children. 

Let this meaningless battle 

for Control end today. 

Of course, Lord. 

We had thought ourselves 

bereft forever. 

Darkseid :

Only the slimmest of chances 

has allowed me to 

overcome My Death 

at the hands of Superman. 

But let The Universe howl 

in Despair, for 

I have returned. 

[CHEERING] 

What is Your Will, My Lord? 

Darkseid :

As Ever, to Search for 

The Anti-Life Equation, 

that I may bring Order 

to This Aimless Universe. 

But first... Superman must 

Suffer for Killing Me. 

His adopted world 

will die, screaming. 

Only then will I seek 

The Ultimate End. 

Desaad :

Forgive me, Lord. 

But an attack on Earth 

would violate Your Pact 

with Highfather. 

New Genesis would 

doubtless retaliate. 

Darkseid :

Where Do You Think 

I'm Going next?

Save Your Servant

 

The Evil One :

Morning! You again. 

You've interrupted me.

 

Have you come to 

Save God's Servant? 

 

Well, I must Save Mine. 

My Son, The Gemini. 

He has Work to Do. 

Much more. 

 

But come in, 

Father Morning. 

Enter, night. 

This Time You're Going to Lose. 

 

Fr. Morning :

In The Name of 

The Father, 

and of 

The Son... 

and of 

The Holy Spirit. 

Amen! 

 

"Save your servant who 

trusts in you, My God. 

Let him find in you, Lord, 

a fortified tower in the face 

of The Enemy." 

 

"Our Father, who art in heaven... 

hallowed be thy name. 

Thy kingdom come. 

Thy will be done..." 

 

The Evil One :

I see, We are Praying now. 

Bright prayers. 

Do you think they will

Save You now, as before? 

 

Well, I can pray too. 

You feel my little orisons

creeping up your spine? 

 

The sweaty murmurs 

of my rosary beads. 

The Human Hearts 

I've taken into Hell. 

 

Fr. Morning :

"I cast you out, unclean spirit! 

Along with every satanic 

power of the enemy! 

Every specter from hell. 

In the name of our Lord,

 Jesus Christ. 

It is he who commands you. 

He who stilled the sea and the storm. 

He who flung you from heaven 

to the depths of hell! 

 

You Robber of Life! 

You Author of Pain! 

You corruptor of justice, 

and innocence, and youth. 

 

You Begetter of Death. 

Sworn Enemy of all 

The Human Race!

 

I command you —

 

Det. Kinderman :

 Allerton? Nurse... 

 

The Evil One :

Don't worry about Julie. 

We'll get her. 

 

Det. Kinderman :

Pray for Me, Damien. 

You're Free. 

 

The Evil One :

Did You Think to Save 

Your Friend, The Priest? 

 

Det. Kinderman : 

My God, help! Help me. 

 

The Evil One :

Have I helped 

Your Unbelief? 

 

Det. Kinderman :

Oh, yes. Yes, I Believe. 

I believe in Death. 

I believe in Disease. 

I believe in Injustice 

and inhumanity. 

And Torture, 

and Anger 

and Hate.

I believe in Murder! 

I believe in Pain!

I believe in cruelty 

and infidelity! 

 

I believe in slime 

and stink... 

and in every crawling, 

putrid thing... 

every possible ugliness... 

and corruption —

You Son of a Bitch! 

I Believe... 

in You. 

 

My God! Bill. 

My God! 

 

The Evil One :

You grow tiresome, Lieutenant. 

And foolish. 

Save Your Prayers. 

God is not Here 

with Us, now. 

There is only 

The Darkness, here. 

And Your Death. 

 

Fr. Morning :

Save Your Servant... who 

Trusts in You, My God. 

 

Det. Kinderman : 

You! Damien, fight Him. 

 

The Evil One :

Goodbye, Lieutenant. 

 

Det. Kinderman :

Damien! 

Fight! Fight! 

 

The Evil One :

You cannot win. 

He Dies. 

 

The Exorcist :

No! Bill, now! 

Shoot, now! 

Kill me now! 

 

We won... 

Bill.
