Joe Diliberto - Overture Lyrics

Since before the big bang went boom
There existed a feud that ignited mortality
It was a duel between good and evil
Between light and shadow
Between right and wrong
Between love and being consumed by love
This is the story of infinity

On the side of light stood God and the angels
These beings existed in electricity and were driven by energy
It was their purpose to light up and they did so by creating music
They used their electrical powers to crank their amps and make their guitars scream
Together, the legions of angels made an almighty army, but they knew no quarrels
The angels didn't understand the mysteries of the realm they were in
God didn't tell and they didn't ask
The angels were perfectly content
It was perfect suspense

Until one of the angels began to burn brighter than all the others
His name was Lucifer
He was the greatest angel of them all, studying his power and truly understanding it
He had potential and God saw that
But God knew what he did not
There was more to this universe than him and the angels

Then one day, a dark figure rode into town
His name was TIME
He was a bad guy, but remember the angels didn't know that bad even existed
He took out his golden pocket watch, held it above his head
Looked out on the angels and said
"I will give this to whomever of you can burn brightest"

And so TIME did just as he promised, he gave the watch to the worthy angel
Lucifer
And from it, the angel glowed brighter than ever before
He burned so brightly he began to develop his own gravity
A force even God didn't understand
But unlike the other angels, his light was hot like fire and it burned
He was destroying the angels because he made them forget about their music
He pushed them and made them fall to the Earth, while he rose higher in the sky

The angel knew what no other angel knew: Light is just the medium of time
And that was why he became known as LUCIFER, THE SUN
It was an uncanny partnership, between DEVIL and TIME

And it is in the midst of this chaos that we enter Chapter One
With God sending his prophet as the next great
Offensive to save this broken universe...
