"Namtaru Kigal" (Fallen Light)

In a land without time, he soared in the heavens,

A beacon of God's light.

With wings of grandeur spread wide, he spoke

His own name!

"Why bow to the throne of God?

I am the light, the morning star!

Above all the others, I’ll rise in the night

And before the morning sun!"

A fallen light comes from the skies;

He falls to the ground and declares himself King of the underworld.

From grace to disgrace, a heart turned black as coal

With eyes to match.

A tale of the angel who was great, now a demon.

Among the council of angels, he stood tall, proud, and loud.

With a voice like thunder, he spoke to the crowd:

"Why serve God when I can be Him?

I’ll rush His throne and make it my own!"

The heavens roared and trembled

As the fallen angels fell from grace,

Cast from their heavenly space.

Now down in the abyss

With Lucifer's pride and disgust,

As the wrath of God was swift and powerful,

Without mercy.

His creations turned sour and tried to rise against Him.

"Lucifer, šu-zi, dumu šu!"

In the depths of darkness, where no light dwells,

He whispers vengeance and anger,

Where his fallen angels dwell.

Together they live in Hell.

Lucifer, once the morning star, is a fool,

Having basked in God's favor, he fell from grace.

Now destined to burn in Hell, he revels in his plight;

His anguished screams will echo like a twisted symphony,

And I will laugh as he screams,

Finding dark delight in his despair that very night.

Scream, Lucifer, scream!

I relish in your agony!

Burn, fool, burn!
