Death Dream

3 songs in 1. I love religion. From an atheist's point of view, of course.

These walls are closing in on me
If they had mouths, I'll bet they'd scream
The rug was pulled from underneath
I felt the ground against my cheek

My hands and feet are the sole perpetrators
They kick me and punch me and march to my death
I took a walk and was led to the gallows
The rope, it was rotten, but it scarred up my neck
I lay on the ground with two broken legs now
A noose for a necklace and eyes that look dead
The Father, The Son, The God-Damned Holy Spirit
Ghosts of my past though they're surely ahead

Jesus will save you, only if you dream it
Can't sleep forever but I'm stuck in my kind
Sink deeper and deeper, fall into chaos
I'll be my own savior for all of my life

Who's life is broken down to save another's time
I'm alone inside my thoughts but I can't keep them in line
The Good Lord sent an angel with a pitchfork and some horns
She answered a question I've had since I was born

She said "You are not your mind"
She told me "You control your thoughts"
She said "Your body is a temple"
"Meant to praise almighty God"
"So come on home to Jesus"
"Hallowed be thy name"
"As you worship, pray and please us"
"We will christen you with blame"

Well, what a load of bullshit
Who knew angels also lie
But that angel was a demon
That demon was a child
Child of God, Child of yours
Child of mine, Child of ours

A child of every single human being
A child of Capitalist society
A child of Pseudo-Communist beliefs
A child of colonies owned by the king
Child of Time

Author's Note

Whoa, that was intense.
