I For An Eye — текст песни (Sabbat)

INTRODUCTION
This tale I tell that all may see,
behind God`s truth lurks treachery.
VOICE OF GOD
`Mine is the right to glory and light,
and you shall have heartache and pain,
yours must be Hell -
for in Heaven I`ll dwell,
I care not for that earthly domain.`
HOST OF RIGHTEOUS ANGELS
`For crimes against divinity -
the loneliness of purgatory,
your kingdom rule - Humanity,
Mankind shall be your Hell.`
LUCIFER
`Why have you done this to me -
tell me what is my crime,
I`m tried and convicted -
guilty the fate that is mine.
You say I`m a Devil -
then by Hell the Devil I`ll be.`
NARRATION
`As aeons passed without cessation -
brewing hatred from damnation,
in darkness Satan waited -
laughed as God the Earth created,
and man in his own image made -
unaware that plans were laid,
`till from the dark eternal night -
a serpent crawled into the light.
And so from darkness a rage without
measure -
burst spreading the cancer `cross Eden,
corrupting and tempting and never relenting,
abusing man`s newly found freedom.`
LUCIFER
`Out of the abyss I come the avenger
shapeless and faceless -
Yet I have a name,
I shall tighten my grip on your now
flawed creation,
endeavour to show you the meaning
of pain.`
`It soothes my heart,
to see you cry,
when I am done,
you will learn as I -
to suffer in Hell.`
`Impaled on the horns of a dilema -
it seems what were my nightmares,
are now naught but dreams,
for you who have riches know paradise well,
and I who have nothing am burning in Hell.`
