MY STOLEN WINGS
Can you see my wings? Very pretty aren’t they? God gave them me Well in a sense anyway He didn’t really have much of a choice when I was done ripping them from his favoured one Seems for someone all knowing He has a slight weakness for pain After all It seems even his blood flows freely The crimson massacre of facial scars was oh such a lovely sight I guess not so much for him though Still it works for me And that makes me smile I must say The other angels did seem quite upset Especially the one I took these pretty wings from Seems she was quite partial to them It’s kind of funny really Now the only thing she’s partial to is a rather sturdy walking stick My dear Beelzebub will be so proud of me I’m sure he’ll raise a wall of flame in my honour Fuelled no doubt by some tender young virgins and maybe an innocent infant or two I can see it now He may even whip me himself Such a grand honour for sure For now though I think I’ll just fly around a little Maybe spy on a sordid affair for a while Watch the man count his teeth as his wife catches him with his defiled mistress That sounds like fun Maybe I’ll even defile her myself Oh yes I do love my wings
