Fallen from Heaven Lyrics

How you have fallen from heaven
Morning star, son of the dawn
You have been cast down to the earth
You who once laid low the nations

You said in your heart
"I will ascend to the heavens
I will raise my throne
Above the stars of God

I will sit enthroned
On the mount of assembly
On the utmost heights
Of Mount Zaphon

I will ascend
Above the tops of the clouds
I will make myself
Like the Most High"

But you are brought down
To the realm of the dead
To the depths of the pit

Those who see you
Stare at you
They ponder your fate
"Is this the man who shook the earth

And made
Kingdoms tremble
The man who made the world
A wilderness

Who overthrew
Its cities
And would not let his
Captives go home?"

All the kings
Of the nations lie in state
Each in his
Own tomb

But you are cast
Out of your tomb
Like a rejected
Branch

You are covered with the slain
With those pierced by the sword
Those who descend to the stones of the pit
Like a corpse trampled underfoot

Let the offspring
Of the wicked
Never be mentioned
Again
