The Cruelty of Heaven

An angel’s song, A demon’s bellow, Hark, for this is their music! ​The angel, beating wings amidst the celestial clouds, The demon, dancing amidst the subterranean flames, Behold, for this is their rhythm! ​An angel’s radiant brilliance, A demon’s murky shadow, Reach out, for this is their play! ​The ruthless angel, hallowed by mercy, The innocent demon, sanctified by cruelty, Sense it, for this is their equilibrium!
