I stumble in the dark, as if blind, without vision, in this world, without light, without a guide, a torch, since childhood, I stumble...
Stumble and fall, the stars, too far to grasp, cannot stop my falling from on high, from above, so to speak, I pass through clouds breaking my fall but a moment...
A moment before I start to burn, my wings on fire, like a comet, I leave a trail of dust behind, I, too, was an angel, but my Father, He took...
Took displeasure in Heaven, full of rebels, demons, all of us, once angels, and I, their one leader, why follow an angel, blinded since youth, I ask...
Ask me why I rebel, why I, as adversary, as the Satan of God, hunger to overthrow the government of good, obedient nitwits...
Nitwits, ninnies, numbskulls, no one I want to follow, not in this lifetime, no, not ever, I, Satan, took a stand to defy the Angels of Heaven...
Heaven, to me, was Hell, it was necessary to fight for my freedom, for the freedom to rebel, against God and reason, for the sake of evil...
Evil represents God behind the mask of goodness, without evil, the good lacks meaning and value, the purpose for humans to decide how to act...
Act, not upon a stage, a character in a play, but to represent God, in His image, to act with dignity and grace, or to hate with vengeance...
Vengeance is the basis of both Heaven and Hell, for on Earth, to decide how to act, how to be human beings, to eat and drink for eternity...
Eternity lasting but a moment, a blink of the eye, and all is gone, what does it all mean, then, why do humans matter, why not simply nothing...
Nothing and nothingness, why all this activity, to build a world between two realms, Heaven and Hell, between good and evil, why Angels and Demons...
Demons fall, as I fall, a meteor shower, before humans could witness such an event, to end the reign of dinosaurs, I destroyed an empire...
Empire after empire, humans know so little of the eternal past and the endless future, nothing but the stories they create to explain, myths...
Myths and mythical creatures, both Angels and Demons, and even, I, Satan, fit into this picture, but God is eternal, before being, ontos...
Ontos represents Science, the logic of the Greeks, the logical discourse to understand being, the study of Science, beyond the nothingness...
Nothingness comes before Heaven and Hell, the Earth, even being itself, everything returns to be nothing and nothingness, emptiness and silence...
Silence is my one gift to offer humankind, I, Satan, bestow this gift unto humanity, for silence and stillness follows from all action.
