See Lucifer Who Proudly Fell

See Lucifer who proudly fell
Driven o’er Heavens wall
To the flaming deeps of Hell
With the rebel angels all
  Chained upon the burning lake
  A dream from which no one shall wake!

The serpent in the garden sweet
To whom Adam and Eve gave heed
Omnipotence can but defeat
The willfulness of wicked greed
  So see the falling of their kind
  Into the place no one can find!

Solo
The only sin against mankind
The working of a faithless heart
That fraudulent of thinking mind
Must to the waste alone depart
  The further that your footsteps lead
  The worse your soul shall come to need!

Solo

See Lucifer who proudly fell
Driven o’er Heavens wall
To the flaming deeps of Hell
With the rebel angels all
  Chained upon the burning lake
  A dream from which no one shall wake!

Nightingales

Beloved, let us walk by spark ‘ling streams
Upon the flowered valley green and wild
Our footsteps lead us through beautiful dreams
Of spring, provoking those still like a child

  See the Nightingales - Circling in the cool of the day
  See the Nightingales - Circling in the cool of the day

Beloved, let us work the golden fields
Discovering what summers’ toil yields
And rest in shade of laden apple-trees
Hand in hand caressed by whisper'd breeze


  See the Nightingales - Circling in the cool of the day
  See the Nightingales - Circling in the cool of the day

Beloved, let us press fruit of the vine
And drink cups of intoxicating wine
Dry leaves are fluttering and falling down
To find their place of rest upon the ground

  See the Nightingales - Circling in the cool of the day
  See the Nightingales - Circling in the cool of the day

Solo
Beloved, when we’re bent before the fire
Let our love become our funeral pyre
Smile with me. Let my fingers wipe your tears
And sweetly sing the story of our years

  See the Nightingales - Circling in the cool of the day
  See the Nightingales - Circling in the cool of the day
