The Fall of the Rebel Lyrics


Then the devil, who had led them astray,

was hurled into the fiery lake of burning brimstone

Where the beast and the false prophet were

And they will be tormented day and night

Through the ages of the ages

Forever and ever

Bearing the seal of perfection

Glowing as a morning star

Perfect in beauty and wisdom

The holy mount of God

Blameless upon your creation

Arrogance grew in your heart

Knowing you weakened the nations

Desiring to be the Most High

The war is on, rebellion!

The great dragon fights against a false God

Heaven is torn and angels fall

Like lightning from the sky to the lower world

Falling from grace into a lake of fire

Banished from light to the utter darkness

Pride ever leads to damnation

Passing the point of redemption

Upon destruction came the Creation

Divine in image, Son’s architecture

Yet neath the veil of seeming perfection

Delights forbidden would lead to abasement

And the fallen would rise seeking victory

Not in Heaven nor Hell, but in the between

To retake what was theirs and to turn the wheel

Free of servitude, they would spread their glorious wings

Past the impervious gates of Hell

Across Chaos's realm

With the presence of Sin and Death

Towards virgin Earth

In the shape of a snake

Speaking words of sin

To corrupt and deprave

In the name of free will

In the shape of a snake

on the knowledge tree

Succulent was the bait

Bittersweet the taste of sin
