Analysis of Negative Nine (Mourningstar Song)
hurtful, hated-filled angel
hurtled to the lowest level
never loved and only dishonored
by the father of lies
the father of fathers
an imposter
I am the b*st*rd son of Ashtaroth and Amaymon
of Abbadon and Lilia
Adrach and Abrax
Leviathan and Scylia
charge Cain and Goliath
and Judas and Jezebel
charge the watchers and waiters
the rebel archangels
the serpent song
the trumpet sound
seven stones and seals
the sacred ground
abrahadabra
hallelujah and amen
since the sun's split open
now the night will never end
