I For An Eye

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
