Saint of the Damned

Saint of the Damned

A Poem by Texas
"

Breaking Benjamin's "Give Me A Sign" rewritten. Best if read while listening to the song.

"

Full moon shines, lighting the sky.

Tell me a lie. Tell me it's okay.

Empty inside, black hole growing.

From the very start, I'm the saint of the damned.

 

You have to let me go.

Crossing the river, isn't that hard.

Once I cross, I can never return.

For better or worse, this is the end.

Forever and ever, I'll have peace.

Don't cry, I've found Heaven in Hell.

 

Coming sunrise, brings night's end.

Tell me a truth. Tell me it's okay.

A life's beginning is another's ending.

'Till the very end, I'm the saint of the damned.

 

You have to let me go.

Crossing the river, isn't that hard.

Once I cross, I can never return.

For better or worse, this is the end.

Forever and ever, I'll have peace.

Don't cry, I'll love you after I am gone.

 

(Lord show me the way. Show me the light of the Son.)

(Lord show me the way. Show me the light of your Son.)

 

You have to let me go.

Crossing the river, isn't that hard.

Once I cross, I can never return.

For better or worse, this is the end.

Forever and ever, I'll have peace.

 

I am the (patron saint of the damned).

I am the (patron saint of the damned).

I'm the patron saint (saint of the damned).

I'm the patron saint (saint of the damned).

I'm the patron saint (saint of the damned).

I'm the patron saint (saint of the damned).

 

Forever and ever, I will love you.

Oh this is very good... sounds like lyrics one of my favorite metal bands would write... this is kind of that rise from the ashes motivation. I like it.

I must say, this is wonderful. I love the lyrics, they gave me a feeling of sadness and of hopefulness. Once across the River Styx to the land of the dead things will get better if one truly believes. It probably will for those who don't believe because they will believe when their time comes.
