Lucifer's Lament Lyrics - The Sheperd & The Hounds Of Hell - Obtained Enslavement

As he walked these desolated fields, 

he felt his spirit weaken 

These were the days that you know not, 

this was long ago 

The tortured soul of fathers old 

was his to seek revenge for 

Those of pride who would not bend, 

before the laws and gods of man 

This was a race you have never seen 

and neither will you ever 

For these were haunted down 

like beasts, by mortal fools 

- the human race 

In his quest for sweet revenge 

he walked so tall and proud 

Until he met a figure that now made 

him fall and stumble blind 

This was what his quest was for 

not to seek revenge 

This creature in a human shape, 

with feelings so intense 

He knew her as no other, 

but not in shape of man 

Their spirit re-united 

as he took her by the hand 

This was a race you have never seen 

and neither will you ever 

For these were haunted down like 

beasts, by mortal fools 

- the human race 

In his quest for sweet revenge 

he walked so tall and proud 

until he met a figure that now made 

him fall and stumble blind 

This figure was of human race 

A woman of such beauty 

that he could not help 

to stumble on his way to seek revenge 

As he looked upon her face he saw 

such passion in her eyes 

It reminded him 

of tales he had heard, 

of mankind so-called paradise 

Spirit torn from spirit 

and spirit torn apart 

When human race 

saw through his mask, 

and tore the two apart 

Spirit torn from spirit 

and spirit torn apart 

Human race I curse thee 

With all my blackened heart
