[based on John Milton's PARADISE LOST - 1667]

|
They rise from this fiery region,
|
On dragon-like wings, by thousands they've come to war.
|
And dark are the Seraphic Legions,
|
With armor and shield, they raise their flaming swords.
|
In the name of the Archangel Lucifer
|
The Legions hath come, to divide and to conquer
|
Thy kingdom, Thy power, Thy throne,
|
The Seraphic legions they goe . . .
|
|
The celestial armies of heaven,
|
Descend from the Sovereign's sky forth God's command.
|
And lo, Michael with sword in hand,
|
He leads the Lordian Guard to slay to damn.
|
In the name of the Almighty Father,
|
The angels hath come to cast out the Legions
|
Forever, to the infernal realm,
|
From heaven to hell . . .
|
|
On chariots of thunder and lightning,
|
On Lordian Steeds the angels smite their foe.
|
And the Seraph they fall to destruction,
|
As the hounds and the carrion of hell feast on their corpse.
|
Now lost is the Archangel Lucifer,
|
Who thought in his mind, he could rise to Empyrean dominion
|
'Til fate was his foe,
|
The will of God his woe . . .
