I for an Eye Lyrics by Sabbat (UK)

History of a Time to Come

1988

[Introduction]
This tale I tell that all may see
Behind God's truth lurks treachery
[Voice of God]
'Mine is the right to glory and light
And you shall have heartache and pain
Yours must be hell -
For in heaven I'll dwell
I care not for that earthly domain.'
[Host of righteous angels]
'For crimes against divinity -
The loneliness of purgatory
Your kingdom rule - humanity
Mankind shall be your hell.'
[Lucifer]
'Why have you done this to me -
Tell me what is my crime
I'm tried and convicted -
Guilty the fate that is mine
You say I'm a Devil -
Then by Hell the Devil I'll be.'
[Narration]
'As aeons passed without cessation -
Brewing hatred from damnation
In the darkness Satan waited -
Laughed as God the earth created
And man in his own image made -
Unaware that plans were laid
'till from the dark eternal night -
A serpent crawled into the light
And so from darkness a rage without measure -
Burst spreading the cancer 'cross Eden
Corrupting and tempting and never relenting
Abusing man's newly found freedom.'
[Lucifer]
'From out of the abyss I come the avenger
Shapeless and faceless - yet I have a name
I shall tighten my grip on your now flawed creation
Endeavour to show you the meaning of pain.'
'It soothes my heart
To see you cry
When I am done
You will learn as I -
To suffer in Hell.'
[Guitar Solo]
[Narration]
And so from darkness a rage without measure -
Burst spreading the cancer 'cross Eden
Corrupting and tempting and never relenting
Abusing man's newly found freedom.'
[Lucifer]
'From out of the abyss I come the avenger
Shapeless and faceless - yet I have a name
I shall tighten my grip on your now flawed creation
Endeavour to show you the meaning of pain
'It soothes my heart
To see you cry
When I am done
You will learn as I -
To suffer in Hell.'
'Impaled on the horns of a dilemma -
It seems what were my nightmares
Are now naught but dreams
For you who have riches know paradise well
And I who have nothing am burning in Hell'
[Guitar Solo]
I for an eye!
