Lullaby of the Descent Lyrics


His eyes enlighten the dawn,

in wisdom, beauty, and grace

High, above the sky,

holding the crimson gates

Seeking for the truth,

attaining ruin and shame

Aurora’s rampage

deprives him of his strength

From above no tears to shed

for the rebel fiend,

a force with no mass

to banish and command death:

"It will be abyss,"

with life tight in mouth.

As he dared to beg,

shut his eyes and said:

Silver wings to fly away,

as I sing my lullaby,

I’ve lost the light

in the end

Silver wings to fly away,

and I'll stray and damnify,

’cause I'm the sin

until the end

Who dares to interfere

with the order of things?

An oath was taken on thee,

sworn on your life

His presence to dispel

doubt, sin, and rage;

with blind, unceasing faith

his throne has been raised

Silent piercing words

to tear and rip in wounds,

echoing still loud:

"Sentenced to the ground."

Turning its being,

betraying authority,

ignoring cosmic laws,

desiring only sins

Unable to feel

out of carnal greed,

descending to the world,

and chanting in tears:

Silver wings to fly away,

as I sing my lullaby,

I’ve lost the light

in the end

Silver wings to fly away,

and I'll stray and damnify,

’cause I'm the sin

until the end

Morningstar,

fearful, righteous,

you poured the light

Morningstar,

wise, loyal,

you wrote the vision

Morningstar, splendid, raising,

you wanderer of night

Morningstar,

I’ve cast you down,

for thee wished to exist,

but dark you will be
