lyrics

I am the fallen one.

I am the fallen from Heaven
Oh Venus, oh day star
Lucifer, son of the dawn

I am the fallen from Heaven
Oh Venus, oh day star
The King of Babylon

Falling from grace

Is it my ego that's left me here tortured
Are you convinced that it's all about me
Their stories are twisted
Have damned me forever
Misunderstood for all of eternity

I can't bow before him, I love you

Was born of the fire
Made to adore thee
How can I worship something
Moulded from clay
Created with eyes and a heart for you only
You ask of me something I cannot display

(Cast me out, throw me down, to Hades bound!)

These the words that I refused...

"You'll throw yourself at the first man"

Adam, Adam, I'm damned, I'm damned
