(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 burn'd inside my eye's

as ye fall's ascending like a moment o' joy. Spirit of Night:
My thorns where sown in ye light o' Day, His thorns were spawned from the grasp o' God,
and the winds¦ they blew¦ and the pain¦ it grew¦
until my winds, they blew no more. but holiness grew no more.
I scream'd out into the dawn!

Grievance; fro' the horizon she comes¦
I wonder if I could stay in His world, Grievance:
˜cause sooner or later this pain must end! Pain must end!
My life¦ it cries to be free, His life cries, but soon to be free¦
but legions of stars¦ the stars suffers with me! Thou art the star o' Venus¦ Oh Seraphim!

The Holy Spirit:
Thou must obey thy father, thy God!
Bow down before his eyes¦ before his very eye's¦!

Lucifer:
My God¦ ˜father'¦ hear us cry!
Tell me why¦! Thou wilt die!!!

Astaroth:
Oh, Enslaver of Souls;
Thou can not be our father!
Oh, Avengeful God;
Thou hast brought us agony!

Lucifer:
Into heav'n our sorrow¦ Sorrow
ye beautiful moment o' tragedy¦ so beautiful¦
Falling fro' the lies of His ˜perfect world'. They are falling¦
Takest us away, so far away¦ falling!
here is nothing but pain. God is smiling¦
Farewell now as we enter our darkness¦ smiling!
and we love her, the realization! Salvation comes but pain
Behold our salvation!
