lyrics

Where is the glory of angels gone?
Where is our bright majesty and meaning?
Where is our rightful homeland in heaven?

This cave is cruel, this house is dark.
For no short time must we endure this.
Our day’s delight is a night of the damned.

Looking at nothing but our loathsome selves,
Here I am an unholy hero,
Here I am an outlaw in chains.

My pride has plunged me into a bitter haven.
I can never regain my home in heaven.

I must wander an exile’s far road,
Separated from joy and deprived of bliss.

No sun shines here, not even a night-sliver moon.
Here there is only black fire.
How both heat and cold contend in this cave!

My heart’s desire was to displace the radiant.
Now this pit is my palace.
I will never know a happier home.

The pain pulses in through every pore.
This hellfire has unhallowed my hopes and my dreams.

I bear on my back the tongues of torment,
The fetters of flame.
My wounds are the signs of my sin and my shame.

I must wander an exile’s far road,
Separated from joy and deprived of bliss.
Estranged.
There’s no way out.
And we wander a wasteland of endless shadow.

—

Liar!

Your act is outrageous,
Your face revolting,
Your heroism a farce.
We’re banned because of your lies.
We thought you were God and followed you here.
