Lucifer's Lament

歌詞

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"
