This leaves the reader feeling perplexed, yet still thinking of Lucifer as the enemy. At first it may seem as Lucifer has risen to the Earth, but it is further clarified that he has elevated himself above the "rolling ball".

.... introduces the atmosphere of what is to follow. The lines that follow describe a creature that is lowly and parasitic, yet well suited to the world it lives in and feeds off of.
