All of them have left me,
They betrayed me in the end.
Adramelech and Azazel,
None of them true friends.

Returning to that city
On a hill and filled with light…
If they had stayed here longer
I could still put up a fight.

And those image-bearing children,
I tricked them all before.
Why does He still love them?
It is they who caused the war.

When He told me He was going
To create that horrid man,
I simply had to stop Him
It was such a horrid plan.

God giving him the image
And then giving her it too!
squandering so much power,
What else was I to do?

But God would not forget them
Or give them up for good.
I showed Him all their stupid flaws
But He never understood.

Now they’re all together.
I alone rebel.
And He’s outside here knocking
On these ancient doors of hell.

Why must He have everything?
Just because He made it all?
I prefer to be a king of one
Than answer to His call.

I cannot go back with Him.
The shame would be immense.
But why can’t He just leave me be?
I’m on my last defense.
