Of Nails And Sinners Lyrics
"I know that without me God cannot live a moment;
If I am destroyed He must give up the ghost."
[Angelus Silesius]
I beseech you, God to whom many sinners pray
From the depth of the dark abyss where my heart fell
Expelled I was from your tedious grace to the pits of hell
So can you please cease to deplore my opposite, nay only way
For aeons I descended down
Till I saw the dreadful truth
of which man wouldn`t know
I, degraded bearer of thy sacred light
- to which I never again will bow
When I rise to avenge myself with darkness
The anger of the damned shall flow
I was cast out by the retinue of angels weak
Shone to the few who me would seek
A rebel I was, radiant my glow, afar,
My wisdom fathomed by the morningstar
And O you fools, in herdlike fight, stampede
And when creation falls, you must build anew,
With nails that sting My hands - They grow passionate on a lie.
But You know the veracious one was I
If I am destroyed He must give up the ghost."
[Angelus Silesius]
From the depth of the dark abyss where my heart fell
Expelled I was from your tedious grace to the pits of hell
So can you please cease to deplore my opposite, nay only way
For aeons I descended down
Till I saw the dreadful truth
of which man wouldn`t know
I, degraded bearer of thy sacred light
- to which I never again will bow
When I rise to avenge myself with darkness
The anger of the damned shall flow
Shone to the few who me would seek
My wisdom fathomed by the morningstar
And when creation falls, you must build anew,
With nails that sting My hands - They grow passionate on a lie.
But You know the veracious one was I

Its possible that it is about a man who revolts against his religion. He gets a sudden clarity and cant find any comfort living by dogmatic rules. He turns his back on it and starts to live by his own. When the organized religions fail, he smiles cause he know he was right all along (They grow passionate on a lie. But You know the veracious one was I)
