Eden of Lies

He stood in a hang mans noose

and waited for the floor to fall

she flew in with a broken halo and cut him free

and off they went together forever

somehow forever always seemed longer than that

they landed in a world he’d never been to

one that seemed so calm and serene

but behind every cloud his a razor and beneath the soil anti-freeze

she shoed him the beautiful sky

and planted flowers in the dirt

but suddenly the clouds began to fade

and the ground began to glow

he saw this as her wings began to molt

paradise lost

and so he sits outside the gates of Eden

I stand next to him

my pockets filled with matches

and we debate how flammable anti-freeze is

and at what temperature does steel melt?

as we watch his antichrist rape that innocent world
