(The First of Seraphs in Anguish Bereaved)
(Lyrics by Anders Jacobsson 11/3 - 1996, edited & rearranged 5/10 -1998 and 20/7 - 1999)

Lucifer:
And the fires burn'd inside my eye's
as ye fall's ascending like a moment o' joy. Spirit of Night:
My thorns where sown in ye light o' Day, His thorns were spawned from the grasp o' God,
and the winds: they blew: and the pain: it grew:
until my winds, they blew no more. but holiness grew no more.
I scream'd out into the dawn!

Grievance; fro' the horizon she comes:
I wonder if I could stay in His world, Grievance:
'cause sooner or later this pain must end! Pain must end!
My life: it cries to be free, His life cries, but soon to be free:
but legions of stars: the stars suffers with me! Thou art the star o' Venus: Oh Seraphim!

The Holy Spirit:
Thou must obey thy father, thy God!
Bow down before his eyes: before his very eye's:!

Lucifer:
My God: 'father': hear us cry!
Tell me why:! Thou wilt die!!!

Astaroth:
Oh, Enslaver of Souls;
Thou can not be our father!
Oh, Avengeful God;
Thou hast brought us agony!

Lucifer:
Into heav'n our sorrow: Sorrow
ye beautiful moment o' tragedy: so beautiful:
Falling fro' the lies of His 'perfect world'. They are falling:
Takest us away, so far away: falling!
here is nothing but pain. God is smiling:
Farewell now as we enter our darkness: smiling!
and we love her, the realization! Salvation comes but pain
Behold our salvation! still grows:
