The Conference: Lucifer's story

No one knows

It was still very early in paradiso dawn
the brothers, they were wishing,
let this night never end, stay Lucifer stay.
overcast sky, what will the fateful day bring.
oh why, humankind? oh why, do you sin?
why? why? why?

The price is too heavy, the pain is too much
one of us must pay, it is not time yet.  
It was still early, the war demands us,
we separate. Alone he must go, brave brother
in the woods of deep hell,
where we last remember.
He has to go, to forget all he knows
die bloated, to see,
if he can be born. Resurrection.
the price must be paid
faith, lost faith needs recovered
the war is too complex
Even when you know everything
you just have to play the roles
A theater of emotions.
the show, the show must go on.
the show must go on.

Michael arrived first
Gabriel soon followed
Raphael and Uriel gently flew
they waited, let this wait never end....
Lucifer was late.
They did not even think to call him.
How can they?
The fates must be unbroken.
The fates must be unbroken. 
The fates....
the sun set....
heartbreaking.
Lucifer was helpless,
others also.

He came. His eyes sad.
His slender fingertips
bleeding by the harp, the harp
all night long....
all night long...
Oh brothers, no song!
I can sing no song
forget all! the Angel of Music
sacrificed...
destined proceedings began.

The conference

Nothing much was to be said
Lucifer passed his own decree
exile. white Christ must be allowed time.
He said, there has to be a hell
A matter of balancing shame..
Dark Christ, I, must recede.
the world would grow seeds
of our defeats, we make hell
until then..
he stood silent.

Michael asked why brother
why not complete the story now? 
He said, no, humanity is imperfect.
Then Gabriel asked, why brother?
He said
the world is blind
we should be kind..
You need to allow the loops to play.
They were silent for a moment
Uriel looked at Raphael
He asked, why brother?
Lucifer was again silent.
past a pause, he said, 
the darkness created in free will
To balance the light in free will
Is abused by evil. but Christ white
he is stuck, forgiving judas
I can crush them here and now
but we are not killers.
we never are...

Goddess, she wants
us to allow chances
repentance repentance
what a waste
but we must honour
hopes of her, she wishes the pain
she consents sacrifice as well.

All men quietened,
A heaviness hung heavy
what can one say?
he said,
once the time is given

all and all said and done,
by the pain,
we begin then.
with the rain...
until then,

Meeting adjourned

Michael and Gabriel, they sat voiceless
they can not believe, such a dream!
oh Christ, why do you sin?
do you know not
prices must be sought. 
The meeting adjourned.
The clouds deepened.
foreboding imminent.
