The angels won’t save you…
They’ve covered their eyes…
And blocked their ears…
So they can’t hear your lies…
They know what you’re doing…
They watch from a far…
They are keeping a record…
Each and every little scar…
Every time you deceive…
Each mark your soul…
They know all the details…
And the size of the hole…
The one that’s being dug…
Especially for you…
Your final resting place…
When this life is through…
As you won’t fly with angels…
Or sit on the right hand…
There’ll be no Vestal Virgins…
There’ll be no promised land…
Your fate has been written…
By you and you alone…
The depths of Hell awaits…
Chained to Satan’s throne…
Forever to be reminded…
Of what you have done…
Your crimes all replayed…
All your dark sins rerun…
In a perpetual playback…
For your eyes only…
Showing you the impact…
On the weak and the lonely…
Those you have hurt…
And stabbed in the back…
Those lives you ruined…
And pushed into the black…
Because no one can save you…
You’re the one they despise…
The one who is marked…
A sinner with snake eyes…

Oh wow….kind of makes you think…
Glad you liked it! Cheers J
The thing I like about Neil Finn is that every line he sings could be another song title. These words remind me of that fact too!
So true Mikey! Cheers J
My mind went immediately to the picture of Dorian Gray.
I love that book! Cheers J
Love Neil Finn and don’t know the song so I was disappointed when the video wasn’t available! Poem was powerful, though, even without the music.
Where in the world are you? Cheers J
Islamic fundamentalist are we? (It is my understanding that the good must out weigh the bad in order to gain entry to the heaven of Allah.)
Powerful indeed.
I aimed to cover a few bases here – why did that one jump out? Cheers J
Because of my ambivalence concerning the true form of a higher power and my solid knowledge of Christian beliefs.
I believe in a higher power but he/she/it/they are a mystery to me.
I like learning about other folk’s beliefs.
I am in the same mindset as you – I just like to poke at the whole subject sometimes – incase I am missing something that will make me change my current position – Cheers J
Loved it!! Very true
