The Most Beautiful One

He wasn't always ugly outside
Or on the inside evil to the core
To see what brought him here
You must remember him before

But first I must warn you  
It isn't what you think
It will burn you up inside 
your heart it will repent

When God first created him
He made his wings so mighty
So he could soar so high
To sit beside him as his second eye

He lined his wings with gold 
So God's heart it would reflect
Next he lined them with feathers soft as clouds
So compassion could be felt

Then one day it all changed
He couldn't bear it anymore
For he wanted to be the one in charge 
To have that power, even more

From there on out with each request
The Lord ordered him to do 
He made sure that what he spoke of 
Was not only mean spirited but also untrue

God had no other chose
Though it broke his heart in two
He casted him out of Heaven 
Where he could no longer hurt the people anymore

So you see before you want to be mean or greedy
Remember this angels defeat
He had all of eternity handed to him
Now he's left with nothing but lies he told
And 10,000 years to repeat
