The Evil that men do

Daylight dawned upon existence
Only to light up the world to sin
Misguided right to freedom
Was choice a gift or a curse?

Concealing shame and birth in pain
Will we ever be the same again?
The creation of God, struck down by man
Had you not envisioned this destiny beforehand?

Littered skies, fallen angels
The upper ether a highway to earth
Engulfing man with carnal desire
A broken bridge, a relationship

Death and destruction
Rage, impure passion
The light of day, no longer hide
A withering creation gasping for life

Scores of souls, damned forever
The pits of hell a flourishing empire
A beast besieged by peace and love
The prince of earth as well as hell

The prince of peace and of love
A chord of steel across the bridge
The evil that men do shall not prevail
A kingdom foretold, a prince to come

In fond remembrance of better times!
