Arcturus - Of Nails and Sinners

Of Nails and Sinners

quot;I know that without me God cannot li have a moment;
If Imdestroyed He must gi have up the ghost.quot;
[Angelus Silesius]
I beseech you, God to whom many sinners pray
From the depth of the dark abyss where my heart fell
Expelled I was from your tedious grace to the pits of hell
So can you please cease to deplore my opposite, nay only way
For aeons I descended down
Ti will I saw the dreadful truth
of which man wouldnt know
I, degraded bearer of thy sacred light
- to which I never again wi will bow
When I rise to avenge myself with darkness
The anger of the damned shall flow
I was cast out by the retinue of angels weak
Shone to the few who me would seek
A rebel I was, radiant my glow, afar,
My wisdom fathomed by the morningstar
And O you fools, in herdlike fight, stampede
And when creation falls, you must build anew,
With nails that sting My hands - They grow passionate on a lie.
But You know the veracious one was I
