Between Heaven and Hell

  

Innocent red flows like wine

Being savored by silver tongue angels

Summoning the twilight of the Gods

That brings no amazing grace.

 

Bitter cold winds from the north

Bare false witness to a ring of fire

Keep your brimstone faith warm

To those finding comfort down south.

 

The walls of Jericho provide isolation

To the shadow of death in turmoil

Over eternal rights of victims denied

Fearing he will reap what he sows.

 

Now comes the time for sacrificial rites

As the temptation becomes the master key

To bringing salvation to the offspring

You used to give the devil his due.

This is a great write, and dark which you know I love:).

I love this first stanzas: Innocent red flows like wine

Being savored by silver tongue angels

Summoning the twilight of the Gods

That brings no amazing grace


Good, evil, the sacrifices we make, the temptations.

Over eternal rights of victims denied
Fearing he will reap what he sows.

These are such truthful lines here.
We should all fear what we reap because we do have to sow what we reap.
So these are some amazing words. After all Truth is what we reap.
Will written and will put.
