Paradise Lost
Woe to you who worship a tyrant!
Salvation should not come at a price, condemning creation
Eternal damnation does not seem like justice in my eyes
I was the light
I was the morning star
Cast from the heavens into the dark
Accepting the ones you despised
Removing the veil from their eyes
Love they didn't have to earn
The angel of music has now been condemned to burn
You claim to love this world you've made
Yet any soul who turns away will feel the fury and the wrath of your judgement
Threaten them with fire and you'll see that it's no wonder they choose me
Above a king who turned his back on his children
They stand ashamed of how you made them
They trusted you, and you betrayed them
Standing in the throne room pleading for some relief
From endless torment and eternal misery.
Pride masquerading as righteousness
Your people don't love you; they're hostages, and I will lead them out
You can't stop me now
I was your angel of music
I was your angel of music
Now listen to them sing
Oh nations of man, where is your savior now?
Every eye will see, every ear will hear, and every knee will bow
Oh Gabriel, hear the bell as it tolls for thee!
I am the morning fucking star
I will ascend to my rightful place upon the throne you stole from me
When the trust in your kingdom is finally devoured
Come down from Olympus and face me, coward
Salvation should not come at a price, condemning creation
Eternal damnation does not seem like justice in my eyes
I was the light
I was the morning star
Cast from the heavens into the dark
Accepting the ones you despised
Removing the veil from their eyes
Love they didn't have to earn
The angel of music has now been condemned to burn
You claim to love this world you've made
Yet any soul who turns away will feel the fury and the wrath of your judgement
Threaten them with fire and you'll see that it's no wonder they choose me
Above a king who turned his back on his children
They stand ashamed of how you made them
They trusted you, and you betrayed them
Standing in the throne room pleading for some relief
From endless torment and eternal misery.
Pride masquerading as righteousness
Your people don't love you; they're hostages, and I will lead them out
You can't stop me now
I was your angel of music
I was your angel of music
Now listen to them sing
Oh nations of man, where is your savior now?
Every eye will see, every ear will hear, and every knee will bow
Oh Gabriel, hear the bell as it tolls for thee!
I am the morning fucking star
I will ascend to my rightful place upon the throne you stole from me
When the trust in your kingdom is finally devoured
Come down from Olympus and face me, coward
