Kiss Death

Folder: 
Hambre del Alma

I have kissed the hands of
death three times
So when God himself came down out
of the blazing sky,
I just smoked a cigarette

I am a sinner and
I have sinned and
I deserve to catch the fire
In fact I ache for an amen or
a last sighing breath

whatever's in the water here has
got me writhing out of my skin
and I told God that

and I invited him down to taste my
plundered youth
Perhaps he can tell me why or
when my spirit stepped aside
to let the devil in

I have never been so far gone,
so far away from any light
And I have never seen my soul so
fucking despaired
that I wish to kiss death a fourth time

Now that is some powerful shit right there.

"Perhaps he can tell me why or

Very weighty, but I liked it.
