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 passed 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.' |
