about

Well, got weird this week, I guess. Apparently I felt like writing a song about having sympathy for the devil's expulsion from paradise? Hell if I know (see what I did there?).

lyrics

Angels go dancing on heads of steel pins
Lightly divining in circles and spins
Clock watching Latin and chanting the bends
Sharing a whimper and watching world ends
Passing time singing and lost in a dance
Spending eternity having no chance
Gathered together in heavenly manse
Daring to think and then put to the lance

Fire and brimstone give devils their due
To the pit screaming what’s in it for you
Bone clashing titans cross oceans of blue
Banished from Heaven for secrets they knew

Approaching midnight the ghosts ring their bells
Soft and sweet whispers from deep seven hells
Dead men sing praises of their prison cells
Wearing dead flowers in fancy hotels
Fixing the game drove them all barking mad
No sanctuary for sinful or sad
Facing the void without faith ain’t so bad
Peace and some quiet the best that we’ve had

Fire and brimstone give devils their due
To the pit screaming what’s in it for you
Bone clashing titans cross oceans of blue
Banished from Heaven for secrets they knew
