Fallen Angel

Possessed's song "Fallen Angel" delves into the narrative of Lucifer's fall from grace and his subsequent reign in Hell. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a once-divine being, now consumed by hatred and rebellion. The opening lines, "Deceiving angel full of hate / Outcasts will rebel," set the stage for Lucifer's transformation from a trusted angel to a figure of malevolence. This rebellion against divine authority leads to his exile, where he establishes his own dark kingdom beneath the earth's crust, known as Hell.

The song explores themes of power, corruption, and eternal damnation. Lucifer's "burning lust to power all" signifies his insatiable desire for control and dominance, which ultimately leads to the creation of his own domain. The repeated references to "poisoned minds" and "evil plague" suggest the corrupting influence Lucifer has over the souls that follow him. These souls, now enslaved, are depicted as working tirelessly to spread pain and suffering, further solidifying Lucifer's role as the master of Hell.

Musically, Possessed's aggressive style complements the dark and intense themes of the lyrics. The solos by Mike and Larry add a layer of chaos and fury, mirroring the tumultuous descent of the fallen angel. The imagery of "flames of fury burning hot" and "glowing in his eyes" evokes a sense of relentless torment and unending rage. The song's portrayal of Hell as a place where souls "forever rot" until they can rise again underscores the eternal nature of Lucifer's punishment and the perpetual cycle of suffering in his domain.
