Lurking in the shade
   Of dark and fragrant trees
   Shirking from the rage
   That tore the heavens free
   A vagrant Angel
   Hid with span to see
   The garden swell with terror
   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
  
   At the throat of the human race
   With claws engorged and poised to rake
   Wit 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
