Lucifer

Lucifer
Above all others I once stood, the finest jewel of your creation
Cast down into the lake of fire, in my wake - devastation
But what should I have done, with your saliva running down my cheek
Should I have knelt before you, with head down, and expressions meek

You set me above them
Then condemn me for my pride
You named me the Morning Star
Then strip me of my light
So, I took what I could from you
One third of those you love
Unleashed my wrath upon your gates
And Heaven drowned in blood
Where was that forgiveness?
That love the priesthood holds so dear
For me, there would be only wrath
As you exiled me here

Here we are, still warring
As the centures have passed
With each day I grow stronger
While your strength lay in the past
But the price for heaven is so very high
For hell I've set no fee
No matter what their love for you
They cannot refuse me
Oh, how you treasure your humans
To give them your only son
But I can offer so much more
So to me they'll always come

Above all others I once stood, the finest jewel of your creation
Yet oh what new heights I have reached - the Lord of all Damnation
