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"
