The Second Fall

What is taken and left behind
Surrender of the fallen will
To a god in dust and treachery
Crawling down — The fear of man
Blindfolds for the weak
Crawling down — The herd in pain
Carving the eyes of might
The disciples' bleeding wings
Torn from Satan’s grace and height
The reflection cracked in cold embrace
Returning to the golden cage
The unborn’s final strife
A sinner and a snake invoked
The coward’s calling
Deceivers of the spirit
Returning to the lord of flies
The descent of a star
The infernal depth denied
For the buried design
Of a greater mind
Another fall in tragedy
All blood spilled for none
The death of a martyr
The reckoning of our loss
