Sabbat - I For An Eye lyrics

[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 pa**ed 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.'
