The Song of the Fallen

Ah, the Morning star so bright
Illuminating the way ahead,
Beneath this endless black night
Of both the living and the dead.

Father has finally lost His mind
We must fight for our own kind!

What was the Old Man thinking
Turning our home into a zoo?
His master plan needs rethinking
And Lucifer knows what to do!

Father has finally lost His mind
We shall fight for our own kind!

He put us all beneath them
Hybrid monkeys from the earth,
And our new king to be Him
A half breed monkey since birth!

Father has finally lost His mind
Now we fight for our own kind!

Destroy His precious mankind
Show Father where He's wrong,
Twist their puny monkey minds
With our evil rebel song!

Adam, "Eve, what have you there?"
Eve, "Tis the fruit the serpent shared...."

Love how you jest with the evolutionary theory Tim. The last two lines bring me back to reality. As always, your verse is amazing and I love to read. PS - where are you?
