[introduction]
This tale i tell that all may see
Behind god's truth lurks treachery
[voice of god]
'mine is the right to glory and light
And you shall have heartache and pain
Yours must be hell -
For in heaven i'll dwell
I care not for that earthly domain.'
[host of righteous angels]
'for crimes against divinity -
The loneliness of purgatory
Your kingdom rule - humanity
Mankind shall be your hell.'
[lucifer]
'why have you done this to me -
Tell me what is my crime
I'm tried and convicted -
Guilty the fate that is mine
You say i'm a devil -
Then by hell the devil i'll be.'
[narration]
'as aeons pa**ed without cessation -
Brewing hatred from damnation
In darkness satan waited -
Laughed as god the earth created
And man in his own image made -
Unaware that plans were laid
'till from the dark eternal night -
A serpent crawled into the light
And so from darkness a rage without measure -
Burst spreading the cancer 'cross eden
Corrupting and tempting and never relenting
Abusing man's newly found freedom.'
[lucifer]
'out of the abyss i come the avenger
Shapeless and faceless - yet i have a name
I shall tighten my grip on your now flawed creation
Endeavour to show you the meaning of pain.'
'it soothes my heart
To see you cry
When i am done
You will learn as i -
To suffer in hell.'
'impaled on the horns of a dilema -
It seems what were my nightmares
Are now naught but dreams
For you who have riches know paradise well
And i who have nothing am burning in hell
