Paradise

the devil murders Death/and takes the scythe of His hands [lyrics]

the devil murders Death
and takes the scythe off His hands
but it's not your life he claims
it's the sins you love
to lie, cheat, lust, destroy

now you have your f*****g paradise
revel in the perfection
the madness will kill you inside out
he rides his bike down hell's gravel road
engine roaring, scythe screaming

the blade rips the sky open
and the bloody wretched souls pour down
the souls shimmer as they fall
you may think they're beautiful
but here's the thing you don't know:

they are suicide angels
now the devil's willing slaves
blood spills from their torn wings
and mingles with the rain
it's not their tears; it's yours

the angels laugh in wicked elation
do you still believe in paradise?
do you still believe in God?
no one can save you now

Intense! I love the eerie tone in the final stanza. I especially admire how you acknowledge the "fact" that not all angels are good. The reference of Satan existing and God being nothing but a belief is really cool; that would give someone nightmares. lol Awesome poem! ^^

"the madness will kill you inside out"- doesn't it always? ;)

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood

This is very original and filled with lots of emotion. I'd love to know what type of music you have in mind for it!
