Toothless, Dead and Violent

it takes work to be a monster, it takes far more to not be.

Without teeth

    I will chew the truth openly

And they will fear me

    Like an old leg bone

I will remind them

    Of the harmony that heaven

Has with the devil

    And that they were right to be afraid

Of what dwells within them

    After I am dead

I will remind them again

     And again

Of what dwells within them

     Of what we all have inside 

Even you

Even me

Even in every, single, other

     There is a god

And there is a devil

      So do act accordingly

And do so truthfully  

     (belief's got nothin' to do with it)

You cannot be paid for this

      No grace can compensate you

This is worth far too much now

      And it never wont be

It never wont be

       Not for nobody

Not for anything

      For the divine

She does not compromise

The devil fell from heaven. It was his home. He knows where to hit. He knows the weak links. This is warfare. The best way to defeat someone is to become an insider with them, hit where it hurts the most. We all have it in us. We all fear this.

Lucifer was god's greatest angel. Still is in my opinion. Without temptation there is no heaven to achieve. Without sin there really can be no glorification. 1 plus 1 cannot equal 2 without 1.

… again, I do not believe in god or any kind of organized religion. But I do respect the logic. I think it was made up specifically for that... to bring order and justice in a world of chaos.

I also failed to specifically address your comment. Sometimes I get caught up in my views I forget what these things are about. I will be less selfishly narcissistic with my comments next time. Probably.

Without temptation there is no heaven to achieve. Absolutely. 100% so right. I agree.

I'm an intellectual pipsqueak (that needs to read more)

Hmm. Liar.
