There once began an angel's want
When he beheld the dawn of man;
He yearned to be a god to them,
And to that end, he birthed a plan.
His arrogance had made him blind
To all the times he had been blessed
To walk before the throne of God;
With radiant light, he had been dressed.
He saw when God created man;
From Adam's rib arose a wife.
The angel sought to sway her mind,
Presenting thoughts that led to strife.
With impious words, he told a lie
For which he paid a heavy price.
The man and woman fell from grace
And lost their home, a paradise.
However, God revealed the path
For man's return from sin and death.
He sent His son to light the way,
And man was saved with his last breath.
As for the prideful renegade,
Now bound by chains and rigid bars,
He has been tossed from light to night
And lost his post among the stars.
