His Only Begotten

How the prideful have fallen
A morning star crashing to the earth

Your kingdom shall crumble beneath thee
Your revolt shall be in vain
But not before his words pierce the hearts of my beloved
My creation shall fall to His will

They'll see themselves as greater than I
The fall of man shall be their pride
With forked tongue he will lead them astray
The son of dawn will taint their hearts
With false hope they will be swayed from my sight
By empty words from the serpents mouth

What good is man if they're fooled by such deceit
Perhaps it's time to start again
Destroy the earth and all of creation
Erase the filth that has plagued this world
They'll know no love but the love for themselves
Lost in their greed, their malice, and lust
Why should they deserve to live?
Why should they deserve my love?

Father, these are naught but your children
The ones whom you've created in your image
Show them mercy for they know not what they do
The devil lies and deceives them all
Allow me hence, to make penance for them
I give myself so that they may live
Send me to earth, let me see the world as they do
Let me sacrifice myself of my own will

Very well, my son
My only begotten
Guide my children home
