Better to rule in darkness than to serve in light
I have been struck down like a bird in-flight.

Much like the fallen angel before me
I've grown weary of this life of servitude.
Surely this cannot be my destiny
Vomiting up words of gratitude.
Then my Lucifer calls me deep from the core
I do not have enough, for I desire more.

Gorgeous sirens evoke mass attention
Why must the harlots control man's fate?
I want all their powers laced with pretension
All the beauty they use to infatuate.
Then my Lucifer calls me, so I implore
I do not have enough, for I desire more.

Wealth measures their shallow existence
With a golden façade, they proudly flaunt.
Boasting their riches with such persistence
To bask in luxury, is the life I want.
Then my Lucifer calls me just like before
I do not have enough, for I desire more.

Their idea of immortality is fame
How they acquire it is their choice.
Bound by know one they carry no shame
Compelled by the call, they too hear his voice.
Then my Lucifer calls me deep from the core
I do not have enough, for I desire more.

Better to rule in darkness than to serve in light
I will attain great power through all of my spite!
God made us so we would have free will like envy, pride, and greed,
so why should we be ostracized for expressing those emotions?

This is really beautiful.
He gave us wisdom and sin, so that we could break our bonds and bathe in carnal pleasure.
