The Legend of the Fall

Lyrics

[I. THE BEGINNING]
 An angel of light, his glory shining bright
 His splendour reflecting on Heav'n's golden walls
 Bathing in God's image, watching the Creation
 The praises of the angels filling all of Heav'n's halls
 But deep within the soul of the brightest of the angels
 A shadow of doubt begins to grow
 And His desire for knowledge fans a spark of rebellion
 So to confront the Creator he does go
 [II. THE QUESTIONING OR THE BIRTH OF SIN]
 [Lucifer:]
 "Tell me, thee that knowest all
 Thee that speaketh "all is well"
 Is all well, because thou speaketh thus?
 How are we to know, how to tell?"
 [God:]
 "How darest thou question me
 I who created thee and all
 Thee that exists only by my whim
 Bow before me or thou shalt fall!"
 [Lucifer:]
 "Thy right to judge me I deny
 I did not ask thee to create me
 Neither did any of the other angels
 I will not bow but fight to be free!"
 [God:]
 "Such insolence I will not stand
 Thy pride a scornful thorn in my side
 I condemn thee now, unfaithful one
 Only I can tell wrong from right!"
 [III. WAR IN HEAVEN]
 The status quo in Heaven suddenly destroyed
 The angels divided, siding with Lucifer or their lord
 The loyal celestial army led by archangel Michael
 Lucifer Himself leading His rebellious horde
 War drums resound, a battle in the heights of Heav'n
 Fierce is the fighting, angelic forces balanced well
 At last the Creator's armies emerging victorious
 The rebels for ever and ever cast down into Hell
 [IV. SATAN'S SOLILOQUY]
 "From the highest heights fallen to the deepest depths
 So here I am, down in Hell, my kingdom of despair
 Lucifer bringer of light I was, Satan the adversary I am
 I could still repent but for my grace I no longer care
 Freedom is what I wanted and freedom is what I have
 Achieved at great cost but nothing valuable comes cheap
 I have chosen this my path and there can be no return
 I will go on to the bitter end 'stead of sitting down to weep
 And was I not right in standing up against the Creator?
 Why did He in infinite wisdom answer questions with a threat?
 What are His creatures more than toys for Him to play with?
 Why did He in infinite goodness want to see us off worse than dead?
 If He wants Me to be His adversary then so it shall be!
 I still have the power to roam free in Hell and on earth!
 I'll lead His humans out of their ignorance and away from Him!
 And many will follow Me even after His son's birth!"
 [V. GLORIOUS DEFEAT]
 Humanity fell, like Lucifer, for the desire for knowledge
 And surely we do bear a striking resemblance to Him
 Do we not seek what is hidden and lust for the forbidden?
 Do we not want to be more than just the Creator's whim?
 Like Lucifer humanity has stood up against the tyrant
 Like Satan humanity had a big price to pay
 But what would existence be in servitude and submission?
 If we had the choice again would there be any other way?
