Prelude to the Fall

By: Gus Victoria

Glorious angel bathed in light

Master of flame and ice,

Your sword never knew an equal,

Ever pure was your heart,

Beauty, love, and knowledge

Truth and wisdom as well,

These were your

Treasures, freely shared,

The Creator saw his work

And it was good.

Entrusting you with it

Oh lord of worlds,

He left to reign in silence,

No word, only faith

Did he leave with you.

Did you fear oh Morning Star,

When Michael rose?

Did you despair oh loving one,

When Cain slew Abel?

Did you know then Lucifer,

Of the war to come?
