Fallen Angel
Fallen from the ranks of Heaven has she
The star of morning, daughter of dawn.
Her lofty aspirations of ascension onto
A throne above the stars, the clouds
Created an air of self-righteousness then
Reality struck as she tumbled into the
Recesses of darkness to dwell in self-destruction.
Like a trampled corpse she dwelled in the
Bottomless abyss of conceit, cast away
From the mountain because she lifted
Her heart with her own beauty, corrupted
Her wisdom with her mighty splendor.
Fire and torment has now been brought
From her and has consumed her mightiness.
Turned to ashes, scattered upon the earth
All that look are appalled,
Terrified by her countenance. She has become
Nothing more than a scar upon the fears,
The beliefs of humanity. The mighty
Angel has fallen from her throne,
Expelled by her own ambition
Thus freedom has been obtained.
