Guest Xradion Posted May 9, 2002 Report Posted May 9, 2002 I take a grain of salt And put my tongue in my cheek As I begin to speak About things abominable: Humanity never had a chance. As I take a glance At the ruins around me, I wonder what the point was. And it is Human Nature to Be greedy, right? At least, That’s what some scholars say. So today I say with some Slight spite that moral Right is meaningless. For even if I should shed My skin, I am still saturated In sin, like my next of kin The serpent. And even if I should hiss And protest, my fate is still Sealed, like the coffin I rest in, as the last nail Is pounded down on the lid. So I search for salvation not In the heavens above, but Thousands of feet below In the hole they call hell. "Make me the Antichrist," I cry out in anguish and Angst, "for I have had enough With the world." A world in which Words of wisdom meant Nothing. A world where change Never came. But redeemed, human souls Can be, by way of the battle Of Armageddon. Make me the object of Mankind’s hatred, yes, I am the destroyer. That heartless, soulless, Putrescent creature that Kills indiscriminately Merely to defy the sky. I will make the sacrifice, For truly, it is a sacrifice. I will be that abomination If it means the souls Of humanity will finally Be free. Sacrificial Lamb and Great Serpent, one And the same Who can you blame? Man’s duality Is inescapable. And since I know that Good must triumph, I may Sell my soul, and that way You still lose, Lucifer. But what if I am wrong And I triumph? Then truly, The joke is on me, Along with the death Of humanity. Xradion, The Horny Druid, Scholar of the Ancient Arts, Holder of the Eye of Odin.
