The Birth of Faerie

Today my eyes are fixed on the heavens above
Scenes of the battle of prophesy in the sky,
Michael and his army shall exile them to Earth
For the seven dark angels have lost their place on high.
I shall not mourn for their loss but look for him
My this angel has known love not,
And neither have I, so I will take my chances
Restoring a fire long forgot.

Perhaps he is incapable of human emotion
It is possible he my not understand,
Yet the desire and longing within
Draws me to this ethereal man.
I've always longed for a love sincere
And from God I could no longer hide,
For the first time I found myself praying
And tears of relief I cried.

The next morning I awoke to a great peace
Knowing I am saved forever,
And love will come at some point in my life
I have left this task to my Father.
As I prepare myself to greet the dawn
Suddenly the doorbell rings,
A being beautiful beyond words stands at my door
It is the angel of whom my heart sings.

This was how I met the first faerie
A cast down to Earth from above,
The angel I was destined to meet
And whom my soul was fated to love.
I tell you this story from my new home
The paradise that lies beyond the stars,
For I am with him no longer
And this heart is shattering apart.

Seven years I lived with him
Seven years of bliss,
Yet I died to save him from Crom Cruac
On my lips one last kiss.
I have never known a love as great as he
I don't believe I ever shall,
For the only one I could ever love
Lives in limbo between heaven and hell.

He remains in the new world he has created
For his kind to live and prosper,
A shadow world of our own
Where he shall be king forever.
And I watch in silence
As the Lord of Death claims his new queen,
For every dream there must be a sacrifice
And for every sacrifice a new dream.

Crom Cruac is the Lord of Death in Irish/Celtic mythology and every seven years he demands a soul to satisfy his thirst for lives and to keep the world of Faerie in existence.

Also, from the book of Revelation in the Bible, a great battle takes place in the sky against the archangel Michael's army and the devil. The devil's angels fall to earth and so my story begins.
