Of Nails And Sinners Lyrics

("I know that without me God cannot live a moment;

If I am destroyed He must give up the ghost"

Angelus Silesius)



I beseech you, God to whom many sinners pray

From the depth of the dark abyss where my heart fell

Expelled I was from your tedious grace to the pits of hell



So can please cease to deplore my opposite, may only way

For aeons I descended down

Till I saw the dreadful truths

of which man wouldn't know

I, degraded bearer of thy sacred light

- to which I never again will bow

When I rise to avenge myself with darkness

The anger of the damned shall flow



I was cast out by the retinue of angels weak

Shone to the few who me would seek



A rebel I was, radiant my glow, afar,

My wisdom fathomed by the morningstar



And O your fools, in herdlike fright, stampede

And when creation falls, you must build anew,

With nails that sting My hands -

They grow passionate on a lie

But You know the veracious one was I
