Toxic Waves

Isaiah 14:12–15, Ezekiel 28:12–17

Before humanity ever walked the earth, pride was born in the heart of an angel. This track paints the fall of Lucifer — the bright star cast down, rebellion exploding in heaven. Ethereal textures give way to crushing chaos, setting the stage for the cosmic conflict that frames all of history.

LYRICS

Intro

“How you are fallen from heaven,
O shining one, son of the dawn.
You said in your heart:
‘I will ascend above the stars of God…’
But you are brought down.”

Verse 

Radiant fire clothed your frame,
Perfection crowned, wisdom aflame.
Every jewel burned upon your chest,
A throne of light, the holy crest.

Pre-Chorus

But pride was born in secret flame,
The seed of ruin whispered your name.
Eyes that once beheld the throne
Turned to grasp what was not your own.

Chorus

Fall, O Morning Star!
Cast from the heights of heaven afar.
The mountain shakes, the heavens mourn,
The war before time — rebellion is born.

Verse 

You said, “I will rise, I will ascend,
I will be like the Most High’s hand.”
But fire from within devoured your crown,
Lightning struck, you were hurled down.

Pre-Chorus

Cherub anointed, throne-bearer of flame,
Your splendor turned to ashes and shame.
The host of heaven saw you fall,
Bound in chains, awaiting the call.

Chorus

Fall, O Morning Star!
Cast from the heights of heaven afar.
The mountain shakes, the heavens mourn,
The war before time — rebellion is born.

Bridge

(whisper → roar)
“I will ascend… I will be enthroned…
I will… I will… I will…”
—But the throne is not your own.

Angels clash in fire’s roar,
The heavens quake forevermore.

Chorus

Fall, O Morning Star!
Your kingdom shattered, broken, scarred.
The Highest reigns, His word is sure,
The war before time — His glory endures.

Outro

Shards of light fade into night,
Silence crowns the endless fight.
A scar across eternity’s line —
The war before time.
