(The First of Seraphs in Anguish Bereaved)
(Lyrics by Anders Jacobsson 11/3 - 1996, edited & rearranged 5/10 -1998 and 20/7 - 1999)
Lucifer:
And the fires burnâd inside my eyeâs
as ye fallâs ascending like a moment oâ joy. Spirit of Night:
My thorns where sown in ye light oâ Day, His thorns were spawned from the grasp oâ God,
and the winds⌠they blew⌠and the pain⌠it grewâŚ
until my winds, they blew no more. but holiness grew no more.
I screamâd out into the dawn!
Grievance; froâ the horizon she comesâŚ
I wonder if I could stay in His world, Grievance:
âcause sooner or later this pain must end! Pain must end!
My life⌠it cries to be free, His life cries, but soon to be freeâŚ
but legions of stars⌠the stars suffers with me! Thou art the star oâ Venus⌠Oh Seraphim!
The Holy Spirit:
Thou must obey thy father, thy God!
Bow down before his eyes⌠before his very eyeâsâŚ!
Lucifer:
My God⌠âfatherâ⌠hear us cry!
Tell me whyâŚ! Thou wilt die!!!
Astaroth:
Oh, Enslaver of Souls;
Thou can not be our father!
Oh, Avengeful God;
Thou hast brought us agony!
Lucifer:
Into heavân our sorrow⌠Sorrow
ye beautiful moment oâ tragedy⌠so beautifulâŚ
Falling froâ the lies of His âperfect worldâ. They are fallingâŚ
Takest us away, so far away⌠falling!
here is nothing but pain. God is smilingâŚ
Farewell now as we enter our darkness⌠smiling!
and we love her, the realization! Salvation comes but pain
Behold our salvation!
