How do angels fall?


Almighty Gods once looked upon our Land
Where Evil itself its ruinous wings spread
Rendering air and water and soil stained
Weak and helpless souls driving into dread

They wept seeing what Their blindness caused
Their eyes drizzled the Earth with tears
Humans by healing rain awoken reposed
Into fair Angels converted devoid of fears

The rise of the Divine Ones shook the Earth
All stood united to end the reign of terror
Many perished to give their Land new birth
Angels fell first to stop the Night Bearer

It was true as true is birth and death
That Angels fell first by pure sacrifice
For Greater Good holding the last breath
With grace melting the long-lasting ice

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then the mighty Gods reposed in unending joy 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But as glaciers seize the Earth sometimes
Drawing the heat out of our planet's core
Evil souls are born to complete the rhymes
For Sun and Moon must both keep their Lore

Following the thousand years of fair paradise
The new darkness emerged and three sons bore
Fear and Hatred and Violence began to rise
Trinity of the Damned opened long-closed door

Fear was the first to throw off his disguise
sowing a seed of enmity among fertile soil
Hatred joined shortly and wicked plan devised
wrecking tranquility achieved at a great toil

Finally Violence who ancient Gods despised
For having him cast into blazing tar to boil
Awoke hidden demons and ordered them to rise
Rendering humans into ruthless war embroiled

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then the mighty Devils reposed in endless joy 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And so the demons our earthly valley possessed
And only few angels in concealment remain
Petrified and with fear of daylight obsessed
In murky corners their light they constrain

Angels fall last
Angel's light falls first...
