Lucifer's Lament

He was one of the few, when it all began

When creation still was new

With a task to fulfil, to obey and serve

And always follow through

He stayed loyal and true

And then out of the blue

It all just went astray

Something went wrong, just a slip of his tongue

Enough to punish him, sentenced to stay

And to rule in a bottomless hole

Take me at my word when I say

He was given hell to pay

What can he ever do to leave that place

Forever be free, abandon his throne

When will he hear the words:

"Just let it go. It's over and done.

It's time to come home"

Hopes they can hear all the cries

From the souls he has gathered there.

They're feeding the fire

But why does he still feel so cold?

Waiting here for aeons of time

Waiting to redeem his crime

What can he ever do to leave this place

Forever be free, abandon his throne

When will he hear the words:

"Just let it go. It's over and done.

It's time to come home"

It's time to come home

In his dreams he travels back again

To the time when they could talk

When no one ever called him Morningstar

Who's descending to the dark

The only time he dared to speak his mind

And to question what was planned

The servant from the early dawn of time

Now inferior to man

He never wanted it to go this far

But he refused to be replaced

He knows he never can come back again

He's still falling away from grace

He'll never come home again...

Falling, still falling away from grace

Oh, he's still falling away

Falling, still falling away from grace

He has fallen from grace

Take me at my word when I say

He was given hell to pay

What must I ever do to leave this place

Forever be free, abandon my throne

When will I hear you say:

"Just let it go. It's over and done.

It's time to come home"
