A Shadow touched by Light must vanish
but the Darkness existed long before the Light
and while the Darkness was all but Banished
the powers of Light did all but Rule on High;
The Lord of Darkness called upon me
His most powerful Demon as you'll soon see;

"Make the Darkness throughout all time
make the earth despise the Light,
all mortals possess this fright;
No Angel born of Heaven nor Hell
can accomplish goals quite as well,
make a world of pollution and hate
create Chaos and a mortal fear of the fates,
Destroy with words, Make them heal with death
make them rape their own Mother Earth,
and care nothing for the rest,"

"Yes, my Lord," I said to him,
"But give me a wish, the deed is such a trifle whim",
"What do you wish," with ease he posed this riddle
"I thought you favored the cold and brittle,"
"Yes, my Lord, that I do
But it is such a small thing to some one like you,
you gave me the power to create and to destroy
and the mortal race is such a wondrous toy,
let me rule on High, on this little earth,
ruin and destroy everything they hold of worth,"
"Yes, my Son, would be quite nice
but tell me, Demon,
what is your hidden device?"
"My Father Night, do you doubt me so true,
I am your son, what would you have me do?",
