Symphony of Despair

 

Symphony of Despair

 

God creates the world and two angels, one of whom receives a first name, symbolizing divine light. A second angel is created to support the first, but falls in love with him. God, jealous, punishes the first angel by casting him into the abyss, causing separation and the beginning of evil.
The first angel, in exile, expresses his pain and transforms into a being of darkness, proclaiming himself master of his night realm, perverting divine light into venom.
Luciana, the other angel, loves the first angel and shares the light he has given, symbolizing divine love and beauty. But God's jealousy leads to the fall of the first angel, who becomes the demon, and to the separation of love and light.

The story explores the complexity of divine feelings, jealousy, love, the fall, and rebellion against divine perfection, while also evoking the birth of consciousness, desire, and evil in the universe.

♠♠♠

For four thousand years he fell into the abyss
He fell
Sad with his mouth open and feet towards the heavens
He fell
He saw himself growing horrible wings
He saw himself becoming a monster

The Beginning
"God created the world. And then, the first Angel.
To whom HE gave a name. The first name..."


3.08 Leave us your Voice
"You could not be forgotten,
Even if God is no longer your ally."


5.50 The First Angel's Elegy
"Since it is so, I will then give birth to Desire among Men.
And the Night That will erode and penetrate my Realm
That night Will be the malicious and perverted Light"


8.26 First Gift
"I see both of them spread MY Light
I see both of them walk through the Universe"


12.56 Before it was Dark
"Listen to my story, come closer
You have never heard such a tale
And you will probably never hear it again"


17.50 I who Pervert Light
''Expelled from HIS arrogant heaven
I rule supreme over my kingdom
Night is pure and lightless
And souls, dark and full of hatred."

22.32 Luciana's Song
''Could I watch my Father dying  ?
And never feel pleasure,
My wings, so white, so sweet and still so pure
Will not even tremble.''


27.08 My Lover
''My Lord, what will be my name  ?
Where will be my place  ?
Will I ever be free from holy pain  ?
My Lord, what will be my pain  ?
Why bleeding all pain  ?
Will I ever be tortured by a name  ?''


31.06 What's to Become of Us
''These are the first rains HE allows the Earth to welcome
And my soul is slowly filled with a sad indolence
I’m smiling at my Prince who will never rule this place
And fallen, I’m wondering what is to become
Of the World HE has left for him and me.''


36.00 Hope Lies in Heaven
"Since it is so, I will then give birth to Desire among Men.
And the Night That will erode and penetrate my Realm
That night Will be the malicious and perverted Light
I will offer to Men."

''Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here''
