You knew it had to happen. Brace yourselves for the history of the Symphony, as Billy Joel might have told it ...

We Couldn't Stop The Liar
(To the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel)
(With thanks to I.S. Norden for the inspiration)

Yves awakens, gets his name,
He names God (or so it's claimed),
Then come Michael, Lucifer and all of their bros,
World created, Words are given,
Human folk look up to Heaven,
Dreams are thriving, gods arriving, watch the Marches grow,

(Instrumental)

God says "No more trips to Earth,"
Lucifer says "What's that worth?"
Eden tries to weigh, Lilith huffs and walks away,
Still the ban is not withdrawn,
Lucifer kills Metatron,
Michael beats him, Hell retreats, the War is starting today!

We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though we watched him crawlin', once the Horde was Fallen,
We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though the Host keeps smitin', there's no end to fightin',

New Archangels, Inquisition,
Grigori are on a mission,
Fall to lusting, Dom's mistrusting, has them Outcast,
Oceans, Waters both are fried,
Michael's put on trial for Pride,
God spares Mike and Uriel is cast,

Corpses start to rise, in Saminga's gleaming eyes,
Magog falls from Heaven's land, then is buried 'neath the sand,
Mammon, Zadkiel, Laurence comes to battle Hell,
Gabe comes near, says real clear, "Earth rejoice, for Christ is here!"

We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though we watched him crawlin', once the Horde was Fallen,
We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though the Host keeps smitin', there's no end to fightin',

Christians spread, Dom approves,
Beelzebub is soon removed,
In comes Litheroy, Haagenti's a demon's toy,
Yves begins another plan, puts together the Quran,
Archangels soon debate, Gabriel just cannot wait!

(pause for instrumental)

Prophet gets his dictation, soon ignites a Muslim nation,
Dominic's not pleased, calls a trial for heresy,
Mike and Yves stand side by side, Gabriel is never tried,
She starts going psycho, storms to her Volcano,

We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though we watched him crawlin', once the Horde was Fallen,
We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though the Host keeps smitin', there's no end to fightin',

Uriel unsheathes his blade, calls for heavenly Crusade,
Gods fall, recalled, Laurence is now installed,
Word of Faith goes to Khalid, leaves to guard Mohammad's creed,
Theft goes on the lam, with the book of Nostradam,
Kronos comes to Hades' gate, soon becomes the Prince of Fate,
Raphael, says farewell, sending Legion back to Hell!

We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though we watched him crawlin', once the Horde was Fallen,
We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though the Host keeps smitin', there's no end to fightin',

Haggenti gets his crown, chomps two Demon Princes down,
Disease on its knees, Luther nails his theses,
Vapula starts factories, Nybbas wants his MTV,
Kobal's gettin' bored with mirth, Eli's wanderin' 'cross the Earth

Khalid's fate is on a knife, Chris is guardin' children's lives,
Fleurity, smiles with glee, makes crack, crowned is he,
Stalemate across the War, Furfur's gettin' so Hardcore
Final Trumpet starts to roar, I can't take it anymore!

We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though we watched him crawling, once the Horde was Fallen,
We couldn't stop the Liar,
And it seems foregone, that we'll still fight on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on....

We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though we watched him crawling, once the Horde was Fallen,
We couldn't stop the Liar,
Though the Host keeps smitin', there's no end to fightin' ... (repeat and fade)
