I am the morning star, the one who fell from grace No matter who you are, you've heard of me in this accursed place The angels wept, when they beheld my face Paradise is lost, no heaven waits for me In darkness here I dwell, humbled throughout eternity What will be, forevermore shall be He'll never know what he has done to me My crime was vanity, I rule alone Cruel destiny, my pride has banished me Stripped of divinity, never atone Did you say that god is good? Did you say that god is good? Did you say that god is good? Do you think he would condone rough justice? He without true sin, let him cast the very first stone Why must I endure? Evermore the prince of darkness, too long now have I paid Rule in hell, still enthroned Everybody needs second chances Why not me with a soul to sell? I'm a victim of circumstances Playing a game that I know so well Father of light, in dark we prey Give me some hope, to end this day To end this day... I need forgiveness! (whoa!) I need forgiveness! (whoa!) Is it really oh so bad? Wanting just to feel exalted Host thought me mad Believing I was the one Lucifer - I'm the light Once I was a holy angel Languishing in my plight Like Eden freedom is gone Everybody needs second chances, why not me with a soul to sell? I'm a victim of circumstances, playing a game that I know so well How can you say I'm not repentant enough? I've spent ten thousand years after the fall Surly that's harsh enough? Well if I'm damned, god damn you all! Who will mourn for the morning star? Who will mourn for the morning star? Who will mourn for the morning star? Who will mourn for the morning star?
