Prince of Darkness

Oh Prince of Darkness gilded gold your heart to hatred you have sold dispair is your path and lot for the worship you have sought Into the fall you did man lead through the veil of his need through the heart of his last gift the sting of sin in life did lift And priceless love that flits beyond the grasp and sing the sorrow of things lost long past When mourn we for the loss of Love and barred to the gates of heaven above The aching heart spans within the time we wait ever seeking for it's place the gardens state to wish upon the morrow that we be born again to innocence return and to be free from sin Oh the bitter dregs and bitter lees the life thats brought us to our knees and broken are the wings that soar with hopelessness in hearts that roar Oh the flutes in dirage sing and the pipes of shades do ring sackcloth and ashes have become our clothes when the truth of life's exposed Dispair the earth is covered by the god who's gilding hovers darkness is recieved as light So rules the king of night The verdant plains are burned and scorched shelter from the storms no more and the skies above clothed black to pay for all the things we lack Death has become a living thing there are no more songs to sing payment for the sins we have allowed ashes and sorrow are now our shroud How this system of things erodes the soul and the pursuits of it's desire black as coal When noble men have died and gone We mourn their loss in dirage and song Like a painting you have framed yourself and taken those who worship god with stealth for one woman the angel fell and many others does history tell Crushed the spirit within denied because a life of sin applied the choice was always ours alone the wraith of death has touched our bone priestcraft has brought them down til no hope of truth be found Hatred for humans the name of his game and hearts that burn within his shame What looks good in outer shell contains within the seeds of hell Loyalty and honor things of the past as he holds the world within his grasp All things die in the realm of sin an angels hand was the first begin decieved was she who believed knowing not the intent recieved Book and candle you have placed in my hand and light from their guidence I understand the depth of darkness in minds that are locked and hardness of heart where truth is blocked Sources Gen. 3 Gen.6:1-11 Ezekiel chptr 27-28 Lam.
