Descent of the Archangel Lyrics
[MEPHISTO:]
Speak my friend
You look surprised
I thought you knew
I'd come disguised
On angel wings...in white
I can make
Your dreams come true
What a couple...
Me and you
On journey through the night
I will show you everything so vividly
You can't deny me
Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die
Name a pleasure
One...a few
Any form
Of lust in you
Will tremble at my touch
I come down from heaven's light
I have all the perfect alibis
There's so much...
I will show you everything so vividly
You won't deny me
Bathed in moonlight
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die
Call my name or carry on
Till that last resistance' gone
I'm sure we'll meet again
I'm your true disciple
When the flesh desires
You won't deny me
Speak my friend
You look surprised
I thought you knew
I'd come disguised
On angel wings...in white
I can make
Your dreams come true
What a couple...
Me and you
On journey through the night
You can't deny me
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die
One...a few
Any form
Of lust in you
Will tremble at my touch
I come down from heaven's light
I have all the perfect alibis
There's so much...
You won't deny me
I'm proclaimed by angels cry
Think well
Do take your time
Because your soul
Will be mine the day you die
Till that last resistance' gone
I'm sure we'll meet again
When the flesh desires
You won't deny me

This is the introduction of the Mephisto character to the Epica story line. The devil descents in the disguish of an Angel to seduce Ariel (the main character)
He offers him help on his quest in exchange of his soul and grants him time to think things over.. But he is also SURE that Ariel won't refuse.. And he eventually will get his point as we can see in the next song of the album :P
Anyway, great song ^^ Love the intro.. Though I normally hate the sax, this one was a great mood setter.. You really see the angel descent when you close your eyes :P
The only problem is that Satan (or Lucifer) wasn't an Arch. He was the keeper of God's glory before rebelling.

But this isn't Lucifer, as Kamelot's Epica and Black Halo albums were based on Faust, Mephistopheles was a demon, not Lucifer himself.

Mephistopheles wasn't a demon so much as a fallen angel. He was the one who loved God the most, and therefore refused to bow down to the human race - his allegiance was to God alone. Because of that, God banished him.

So? Who said Mr.Dark had to come in only two forms? Lol. I like the symbolism, personally.
