Bounds of the kingdom divine nFrom the horizons of God nThe angel beholds our world in flames nAnd the crowds who rejoice nIn both pleasure and pain nHer heart is filled with tears nHeavy as wings of the raven dark nFor her father the lord forbade her nTo taste the apple nThat fell to the ground nnFor all the pleasures of heaven are shallow nThough eternal nI would trade this for a day nAmong the mortals nnFor just a day nI would sacrifice all that was given to me nMy whitest wings, my faith nAnd my virginity, so take my soul nBlacken my wings and let the gates nOf light be forever closed nnMortals - Open your arms nAnd greet me with what never was nGiven to me nInitiate me into all that was nHidden from me nMy hunger is insatiable, my wish for fire nIs deeper than the skies nnAnd like the fallen angels we will ruin nAll that is trying to hold us back nVirgin maidens are to be engaged nIn the obligations to those of the damned nnAnd the angel prayed nTo ascend in our world nAs she was given to the flames nFor we are not the children of God nAnd we aim not at the kingdom high nnAll that is divine is to be dead nAnd all that ever was in decline nFor shallow are the pleasures of God nAnd I aim not at the kingdom high nnSo give me pain nTeach me to know myself again nFor self-denial is the norm nOn which all my thoughts nAnd identity was formed nSo show me pain nFulfill all my dreams nThat have been veiled in vain nFor my blood and my veins are of sin nAnd my soul has been sold so show me painn
