...but figured I'd share one more...
No Heaven For The Meek
The cold earth echoes
The despair in our hearts
As we realise hell is not some distant place
But our very home
Our eternal torment
That of knowing
You can't leave a hell you were born into
Existence is a futile gesture
An overacted stage production of false hopes
The final act written
Shakespeare's greatest tragedy
And like true heroes of that age
We twist and turn
Where angels burn
But don't give up the fight.
My dark angel
My fallen Gabriel
My broken Lucifer
Let me be your paladin
I will champion your cause
I will mend your hidden wings
I will help you fly again
They say the brightest angel fell
And turned his back on God
She didn't fall
He was shot down
God turned his back on them
And I am here to heal your wounds
It was a long way down
And we only have each other now
In this frozen paradise
Full of mortal hurts and crushed belief
Where devils lay in everyone
No wonder God abandoned it
To the empty echoes of our grief
That only nature hears
And weeps the tears we cannot shed.
