Lurking in the shade   Of dark and fragrant trees   Shirking from the rage   That tore the heavens free   A vagrant Angel   His with span to see   The garden swell with terrors   To banish Man and Eve      Another fall from grace   Whiplashed from the gates   Half-naked and insane   Full-blooded, breasted   Nerve ends tested   To behests of pain      A sombre lot to gain      As the storm slid in   Borne by carnal winds   The upper ether thinned   And therein sat abomination      Satan seated there   Savouring the reek of desolation   Their dank despair   Moved His speech to leech the air      Behold the golden door   To paradise is lost   So praise Me as you raised your Lord   And I shall thaw this gnawing frost      Another fall from grace   Whiplashed from the gates   Half-naked and insane   And destined for a spiteful Fate   Wherein evil sought the shamed   As pawns in greater stakes   Across this cosmic game   To win the hand   Of darkness and   Set Her in Her rightful place      Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow    thou shalt eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns    also and thistles shall bring it forth to thee; and thou    shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face    shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground;    for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art and unto    dust shalt thou return      At the throat of the human race   With claws engorged and poised to rake   With that the pact was sealed   And as creation reeled   Bewitched oration filled   The hearts of all   Who came to crawl   Upon these earthen fields      A sombre lot to till      A wracked black acid song   Spat from the massive throng   Of Seraph knelt along   The deep red welt to domination      The deep red welt to domination
