ELEND | Lucifer

Leçons de Ténèbres (1994) LYRICS: Nominem tuum despicamur, denegamus nostram originem. Spiritus domini atque verba deceptoris preces perdiderunt. At once, he views The dismal scenery waste and wild, A dungeon horrible, on all sides round, Flam'd; and there the pale light Served only to discover sights of woe. Regions of Sorrow, doleful shades, where peace And rest can never dwell; hope never comes, That comes to all; but torture without end Still urges, and a fiery deluge, fed With ever-burning sulphur unconsum'd. --"Thou, profoundest Hell, Receive thy new possessour: One who can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven, He whom thunder hath made greater! I am Lucifer. "
