Lucifer:
And the fires burn'd inside my eye's
as ye fall's ascending like a moment o' joy. Spirit of Night:
My thorns where sown in ye light o' Day, His thorns were spawned from the grasp o' God,
and the windsa?¦ they blewa?¦ and the paina?¦ it grewa?¦
until my winds, they blew no more. but holiness grew no more.
I scream'd out into the dawn!


Grievance; fro' the horizon she comesa?¦
I wonder if I could stay in His world, Grievance:
'cause sooner or later this pain must end! Pain must end!
My lifea?¦ it cries to be free, His life cries, but soon to be freea?¦
but legions of starsa?¦ the stars suffers with me! Thou art the star o' Venusa?¦ Oh Seraphim!


The Holy Spirit:
Thou must obey thy father, thy God!
Bow down before his eyesa?¦ before his very eye'sa?¦!


Lucifer:
My Goda?¦ 'father'a?¦ hear us cry!

Tell me whya?¦! Thou wilt die!!!


Astaroth:
Oh, Enslaver of Souls;
Thou can not be our father!
Oh, Avengeful God;
Thou hast brought us agony!


Lucifer:
Into heav'n our sorrowa?¦ Sorrow
ye beautiful moment o' tragedya?¦ so beautifula?¦
Falling fro' the lies of His 'perfect world'. They are fallinga?¦
Takest us away, so far awaya?¦ falling!
here is nothing but pain. God is smilinga?¦
Farewell now as we enter our darknessa?¦ smiling!
and we love her, the realization! Salvation comes but pain
Behold our salvation!
