When the Stars Fell Down--First Sacrament

heaven opened up once to the eyes of Man. the reached up to the sky to be led by the hand. but no one came. no one came, no one came. their eyes strained to see the twilight sun, the stars came down and stained their burned tears as the End begun. no one came. no one came, no one came and the stars fell down and still no one came. Man laid down on their tear-struck faces as the stars fell down and wiped out their holy places, all around the world and no one came. no one came when the sun fell down, no one came when the sky made sound. thunder rolled as the chimes tolled, heaven and hell were at war again, but no one came no one came. the Devil was loose and no one came. The Sephiroph tied the noose, but no one was sent to the burning earth. no one was in the Garden to answer the call, no one was in Valhalla's hall. so no one came. god and his angels had already fought this war once upon a time ago, and no one wanted to revisit that cataclysmic sorrow. the stars came down and neither angel nor god would dare spill immortal blood. star fire and hailstorm came down from the mountains in torrential flood. the chimes were ringing and star rain was stinging, would no one come? neither angel nor grigori would stand and take Man by the hand. the judges waited for salvation to come, but no wing or sword would ever come. no prayer made a sound when the stars fell down. No one came no one came.
