Lucifer
Tis a knife sharper than death
A wind as cold as the cold sea
To watch on whistling moors
An angel who failed to flee
In battered wings the hostile shores
That deceived his eternity.
Were the waves to engulf you
I would drown in a thousand oceans
And tear my skin on those weeping rocks
For the hope my foam arms would embrace
All broken shards of your soul.
Now you have fallen, where is the light?
Will any of my days ever be bright?
Do not look into my eyes, they carry enough venom
To barren fields and forests of plenty.
I used to dance with the Moirai
And weave for Arachnee;
But you cut all threads in your fall
Blew the last candle of my faith,
Turned gold back into mud
And Arcadia into a bank of the lonely.
Heaven is bleak and blind
Deprived of the flames you subdued
Forever dark and empty and skewed
The warmth of hell is calling
And the melody of the flute
Whispers in my ear.
