Immortal Hate

Lyrics:


"Farewell happy fields,

Where joy for ever dwells.

Hail horrors.

Hail iInfernal world, and thou profoundest Hell.

Receive thy new possessor:

One who brings a mind not to be changed by place or time.

The mind is its own place...

And can itself, make a Heav'n of Hell...

Or a Hell of Heav'n."



If what is evil Be real, why not known?

since easier shunn’d

God therefore cannot hurt ye and be just;

Not just, not God;

not fear’d then, nor obey’d:

Your fear itself of death

removes the fear

Why then was this forbid?

Why, but to awe?

Why, but to keep you low and ignorant;

His worshippers?

he knows that in the day ye eat thereof

your eyes that seem so clear

Yet are but dim

shall perfectly be then

Open’d and clear’d

And ye shall be as gods

And ye shall be as gods



All is not lost;

The unconquerable will

And study of revenge

immortal hate

And courage never to submit or yield



This horror will grow mild

This darkness light

I sung of Chaos and Eternal Night,

Taught by the heav'nly Muse

to venture down

The dark descent, and up to reascend

Better to reign in hell


"Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n."
