Lucifers Lament

As he walked these desolated fields,
 he felt his spirit weaken
 These were the days that you know not,
 this was long ago
 The tortured soul of fathers old
 was his to seek revenge for
 Those of pride who would not bend,
 before the laws and gods of man
 This was a race you have never seen
 and neither will you ever
 For these were haunted down
 like beasts, by mortal fools
 - the human race
 In his quest for sweet revenge
 he walked so tall and proud
 Until he met a figure that now made
 him fall and stumble blind
 This was what his quest was for
 not to seek revenge
 This creature in a human shape,
 with feelings so intense
 He knew her as no other,
 but not in shape of man
 Their spirit re-united
 as he took her by the hand
 This was a race you have never seen
 and neither will you ever
 For these were haunted down like
 beasts, by mortal fools
 - the human race
 In his quest for sweet revenge
 he walked so tall and proud
 until he met a figure that now made
 him fall and stumble blind
 This figure was of human race
 A woman of such beauty
 that he could not help
 to stumble on his way to seek revenge
 As he looked upon her face he saw
 such passion in her eyes
 It reminded him
 of tales he had heard,
 of mankind so-called paradise
 Spirit torn from spirit
 and spirit torn apart
 When human race
 saw through his mask,
 and tore the two apart
 Spirit torn from spirit
 and spirit torn apart
 Human race I curse thee
 With all my blackened heart
