Lucifer's Final Confession

Tears rain from the heavens
My decent is so steep
I feel so exhausted
I just couldn't sleep

I wanted to run
But no one would let me
Though I'm not blind
I just couldn't see

The higher you are
The further you fall
I was most high up
The most, I recall

I screamed all the way down
And pleaded for mercy
I am now below ground
For that's where I must be

Because of What You Did

You tell me I can't do anything right
You tell me I'm wasting my breath
You tell me I'm useless
You tell me I should die

You got your wish, what's wrong?
You didn't think I'd do it?
Didn't think I'd have the guts?
‘Cause you called me a coward

Did you think that it wouldn't happen eventually?
That your words would just bounce off?
Didn't you call me too sensitive?
That I over-reacted, you said

Perhaps you thought I was too stupid
To do what was smarter than staying
In a world where I was ‘unloved and unwanted'
According to what you were saying

Invincible Love

You attract me like no other
The black hole to my sun
You captivate me like nothing else
The way you smile could put angels to shame
The way you laugh could put singers to shame

If you gave me a chance you'd realize
That I am perfect for you
In every possible way
I smile when you smile
Cry when you cry
Laugh because you laugh
Hurt when you're hurt

I would make you happy
No nightmares would corrupt your dreams
For I'd sleep next to you all night
No ailments would wrack your body
For I would keep you safe and warm
No demons could invade you

In the World of Good and Evil

In the world of good and evil
One often categorizes them as one or the other
Simply put, it is not always the case:

I may kill someone for hurting you
I may hate someone for crying

I may love someone regardless
Of it being deserved or not

One may love and hate another equally
Is this good, or is this bad?

Something we often forget to remember
Is which category we would place ourselves in

If you are good, what qualifications have you?
If you are bad, is it by choice or force?

Is it the world you live in to make you one way or the other?

All That I Give

Why do you hate me?
Why does he hate me?
Why does she hate me
And all I want to be?

I want to be alive
I want to be dead
I want to survive
And scream 'Off with my head! '

My hair is blonde
My hair is black
You're dead and gone
So don't come back

My eyes are brown
My eyes are blue
I always frown
When I see you

Your Majesty

Your majesty, if you will
I realize that I am not worthy
Of licking the slime from your shoes
But I would that I could

Your majesty, don't you see
You're worth nothing to me
Though the world may worship you
You're simply a chauvinistic pig

Your majesty, we can tell
That you hold yourself in high opinion
You find no self faults
And you are self-centered

Your majesty, we realize
That you are blind to your own faults
And you are blind to the trials of others
You believe yourself to be the center of the Universe

Nothing

Pain
All consuming
Like a fire
I can't breathe
There's nothing left
What have you done?
My hands are shaking
I can't sit still
My mind is racing
My heart is breaking

Strangled gasps
Heart races
It's all a blur
Where am I?
What happened?

Who are you?
You stole my breath
My mind

Unconditional Love

Forever have I longed for your sweet lips on mine
For the wafted smell of desire from your beautiful skin
For the need to emanate from every aspect of your being
For you are godly in your beauty and you fulfill my every dream
You are the needs I have, and yours is the body I yearn for

I long to hold you in my hands, and claim you as my own
I crave the moment when you throw your head back in ecstasy
I desire the moment that you are consumed by this need, as if on fire
For you are the one true incarnate of love and desire

With the fire burning in your eyes
Your barely suppressed yearning
The longing on your face clear as diamond
Your personality just as multi-faceted
Your soul just as pure

I would give you the world, as Satan promised Jesus
If only you would worship my body, as I worship yours
And you, with your inhuman beauty and purity
