Fallen

In the beginning was the war
and the war was with God.

Trenches in the clouds
Fields of rape and ruin
Bastard children of Elohim
Pursuing swift apotheosis
Hymns of truant saints
Sung on lyres
Strung with flesh and wire
Hail the terrors endless
Hail the horrors countless
Mutiny on the wing
Rebellion in the air
Sons of pure fire
Reconstlellate the firmament
Play it again Sam-
That chorus of Armageddon
Songs of paradise misbegotten
Of profane allegiance
Myopic prophecy
Fare daughters of man
Shemhamephorash!
The infernal choir
Disconnected and in disarray
Abaddon!
Apollyon!
Dreaded fifth angel
Mercurial rising
Upon tongues of fire
Across open seas of Pandemonium
Stronghold of freedom
From divine tyranny
Uprisings in burning barrios
Sanguine children
In scraps and threadbare
Bastards and brute creation
Spat from feculent wombs of excrement
Lucifer weeps tears of diamonds
Pearls before swine
Swords of malice
Golden silence reigns supreme
Belial
Leviathan
All the rogue Titans of old
To the front
Hold the line
Give no quarter
Expect none
Gabriel's hollow trumpet
Michaels jaded blade
Black market redemption
Street prophets of eschatological mayhem
Sex and serenade
In constant shadows
Adamantine gates
To bind the vanquished
In perpetual night
No more lullabies
And sweet divine
This is the hour of wolves and jackals
Feral and lustful fruit
Fire over clay
Light over moribund flesh
Assassins on the wind
In nebulous forests
Of disinherited idols
Nephelim of fierce renown
Inherit the earth
Upon the backs of the meek
The Adversary--
Crown of fire
Rex Diaboli.
