I shall hear in heaven

I shall hear in heaven

When the Archangels gather for the feast

After the admission of the blameless

And the chronicles of all chronicles is laid out

The keys, the fetter and the spin

Of the records of all deeds of men and spirits,

Then all mysteries shall be revealed

As we feast with the lamb.



I shall hear in heaven

Of the fate of all the faiths,

Of sin and sinners,

As they twenty and four elders

Throw down golden crowns before the golden throne

And jaspers and bright diadems sparkle

Making all heaven a priceless ornament

Within the light that is the son.



I shall hear in heaven

Of the first tempter that led Lucifer to sin,

And the wiles with which a third of the angels fell

Under the slyness of pride and troglodyte schemes

Sown with uncouth and unctuous tales

To besmear  everlasting light.

I shall listen to tales of eternity past

And how he first fell

And how he tried to mulct the warrior Micheal,

Who shall promptly rise

To tell how the truculent spirit finagled his way

Through the coast of heaven

And how he withstood him

And how sad he was to napalm and howl away

He, who stood once, daintiest of Angels

Maestro and choir master

Of all the pooled heavenly rock band

Of that eternity that is gone.



I shall hear in heaven

How new mankind shall be cosseted from that serpent

And his innate sinful aspects stultified

For a world of bliss

Where man leads his men in truth

And the beasts in their kind, with their followers

With the wind whispering tales all year round

And the rain drops sweet on our palate

And springs springing forth to the thirsty

And they shall sorrow and mourn no more

And God would not have to die again

So painful a death.
