EMPEROR YOUR SWORD WON'T HELP YOU OUT
SCEPTER AND CROWN ARE WORTHLESS HERE

THE FLAME BRIGHT DRAGON OF THE WORLD

The Hebrew term Abaddon (Hebrew: אֲבַדּוֹן 'Ăḇadōn,meaning "destruction", "doom"),
and its Greek equivalent Apollyon
(Koinē Greek: Ἀπολλύων, Apollúōn meaning "Destroyer")
appear in the Bible as both a place of destruction and an archangel of the abyss.
