The Will of the Beast

The Fall was just too great
Your favored son
Consigned to this fate
All I had wanted
To be like you
Not to be haunted

Eons pass, eternal fires
On the throne, The King of Liars
Sin, my child
Of fallen angels
Behold the sight
When virtue turns vile

In shadows, smoke and burning flames
Stand atop mountains of the slain
Death, my hand
Cloaked in deepest black
Waves the scythe
On the necks of man

Punishment
Through the ages
You will plead on your knees
Show me sin
Deep desires
Burn by the will of the beast

Was it really so wrong
To revel in your light?
I sought to ascend
To your holy sight
Cast out, like the plague
That are called human
So I descend
To the fires of the damned

I will drag the innocent down
I offer glories of the crown
Lies, my gifts
To the gullible
They accept
The way into the pits

What�s the way to strike your black heart?
What poison will play its part?
Thorns, embrace
Just to draw the blood
Leave you crawling
Until tears stain your grace
