Lyrics - Of Nails And Sinners by Arcturus

("
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 truthsof 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
