Into Bottomless Perdition

Elend

He of the first, if not the first archangel


Great in power, favour and preeminence


He resolved with all his legions to dislodge


And leave unworship the Throne Supreme


With abmitious aim they gather


On the mountain of Congregation


And, against the throne and the monarchy of God


Raised impious war in Heaven


Him the Almighty Power


Hurl'd headlong flaming from the etheral sky


Down to bottomless perdition


He with horrid crew


Lay vanquished rolling in the fiery gulf


Confounded though immortal


Confounded though immortal


Confounded though immortal
