A fallen angel
Sent from above, they say
Reaches out to her flock
Cautiously they approach
The figure divine
Only to be let down
Now watch in scorn
As the lies are born
And oaths are sworn
Now watch in scorn
As they're left forlorn
Confused and torn
Your faith shall be tested
For all that's been promised
She'll try to take it away
Deceiver, believer
Both one and the same
Tirelessly leading the way to mankind's damnation
Devoid of caring
Those eyes still glaring
Hoping for wills to bend
A god amongst mortals
Or that's what she says
Hides behind her throne
The downfall of man
Lies in the palm of her hand
The serpent sheds its skin
A mother, a crone
Claiming to be much more
Shall be dethroned
