Obtained Enslavement - Lucifer's Lament lyrics

As he walked these desolated fields,

he felt his spirit weaken

These were the days that you know not,

this was long ago

The tortured soul of fathers old

was his to seek revenge for

Those of pride who would not bend,

before the laws and gods of man

This was a race you have never seen

and neither will you ever

For these were haunted down

like beasts, by mortal fools

- the human race

In his quest for sweet revenge

he walked so tall and proud

Until he met a figure that now made

him fall and stumble blind

This was what his quest was for

not to seek revenge

This creature in a human shape,

with feelings so intense

He knew her as no other,

but not in shape of man

Their spirit re-united

as he took her by the hand

This was a race you have never seen

and neither will you ever

For these were haunted down like

beasts, by mortal fools

- the human race

In his quest for sweet revenge

he walked so tall and proud

until he met a figure that now made

him fall and stumble blind

This figure was of human race

A woman of such beauty

that he could not help

to stumble on his way to seek revenge

As he looked upon her face he saw

such passion in her eyes

It reminded him

of tales he had heard,

of mankind so-called paradise

Spirit torn from spirit

and spirit torn apart

When human race

saw through his mask,

and tore the two apart

Spirit torn from spirit

and spirit torn apart

Human race I curse thee

With all my blackened heart
