Beneath A Wounded Sky

Beneath the wounded sky sails she
In a crystal boat of long lost memories
Sails of gossamer wings spread out
Pushed by winds of regret and sorrow

Beneath the waves souls doth float
Misshapen, bent and twisted
Crying out for eternity long
“Have mercy Lord, forgive us.”

Up above, circling in the sky
With razor sharp talons flashing
Ready to drop on command
God’s revenge shall be extracted

Today, tomorrow, no difference knows
Each day flow into the other
Eternity is but a blink of God’s eye
Yet the suffering lasts forever

So on she sails beneath that sky
Not knowing what’s the difference
Is this today or yesterday
In the end it does not matter
