lyrics

Lucifer On The Moor
KNIGHT I bid in my blessing—ye angels give light to the world, for it faded when the fiends fell.
CAT And in the seventh year before the first millennium Vesuvius belched forth a multitude of vast stones and sulphurous flames. All of Italy and Gaul ravaged by flames of fire that licked the carpenter’s work. A horrible plague raged among men. They made their food of unclean beasts and creeping things, but even of men’s, women’s, and children’s flesh, without regard even of kindred. [Lucifer appears before the knight]
LUCIFER God, as a woman, will wreak her revenge; will iron out her flaws in you, will rub you out. Nature, as a man— bleak as a moor. Dumb-dog turn as the wind from you, will blot you out. I can give you the earth. At least offer you your share; what you desire, so shall I speak. And so it shall be. Nature, as a woman flashing wears of flesh; honeysuckle tendril ties to you, pulls to reel herself in. God, as a man, primed desperate to implant a stark song and image you believe in your heart. I can give you the earth. At least promise you your share; what you desire, so shall I speak. And so it shall seem to be. I, like a woman, seduce you to the fold. Cast down sacraments! Take your pleasure with my charms to hold you, like a man thrust to top the world. I can give you this, your broadest field, with the stroke of a pen. I can give you the earth. Even offer you more than your share; what you desire, so shall I speak. And you shall be mine. I can give you the earth. Even promise you more than your share; what you desire, so shall I speak. And you shall be mine. [The knight heads back down to the church, Lucifer shouting after him]
