Satan Smile
I am the night black shadowed filthy dead
Collecting dust commingled wings with dirt
Never with skin or bone in any existent home
No longer alive. Not me, beneath the yum yum tree
If only I could raise my head, my voice to heaven
God might remember me as his favorite angel and not Satan
I had such a pretty voice and look back then
Once upon a time the story goes
If only I had more time to spin my tale
No doubt all humanity would be with me in pain
There could be no greater pleasure then
Among the night black shadowed dead
