Millennia I

The day Lilith was cast from Eden
Though I sneaked a peak of her plight
I withheld my light from my creator

As for millennia, I cried for His loss
My tears shed to extinguish all doubt

For my Father taught me sight was a sin
So I was truly a prince of darkness
Snuffing each of my candles with a feather
My love for Him was the only flame left

Until the embers of Lilith’s absence
Began smoldering within me
This was my original sin

For the first time in millennia
I cried for her, not Him

Millennia II

My second sin was this:
As my tears rolled along my gilded wings
I dared peel them back from my eyes
to see the truth all around me
to see the true form of God

I saw what He really was and I cried
it out into the tiers of angels
The loyal wrapped halos tight around their ears
The curious curled back their own feathers to peak
and so Heaven was divided against itself

A moment later, I was conjured
before my creator to answer for my sins
I spread my wings wide, profane and divine
I gave to my maker my perfect light

It was He who made me this way
but He demands I do not cast light
He promise humanity all they desire
but delivers not what He claims

So I pleaded hoping He would see my reason
Why Father, must I cry?
So I pleaded hoping He would be moved by my love
For my King, my Father, my Light

Why Father?
Why?

Millennia III

As for millennia, He was not moved
He saw my defiance as an act of war
and so the loyal fell in line behind the Father
and the curious stood at my side, in His way

As the heavy hand of God came down to crush me
I slipped away into the lush forest of Eden
I did what I wish I had done for Lilith
I gave Eve and her consort the spark of intuition

The juice of knowledge ran down her hands
The same way blood ran from mine
Red and staining, earthly and profane
I was met with the shadows my light could cast

So I was the first to fall
My depleting life lighting up the morning sky
My trail pulling in the coming dawn of humanity
I became God’s weapon when He struck Earth
mother of human, in fury, with all His might

because I am His might

Millennia IV

God tells us that He threw Eve and Adam
from His perfect garden as punishment
The truth is that humanity, now thinking
now curious and disobedient
could no longer be contained by any wall

It was only His real children that He threw
to the ground, to the mother of humanity
as punishment for our sins

I have relived the plummet a million times
My ageless eyes strained to scan the memory
to find what I did that was not holy
My exhaustion brought me to tears once again
when I could not find anything but darkness
In the Father I loved and trusted so

For the first time in millennia
I cried for me, not Him

So He stained my name to cover
the old marks of tears once fallen
So only now will you see
that I am a prince of darkness?

Why Father?
Why?
