The Beggar |
| Once an angel came to me and said ''Do you lack inside?'' |
| And so I raised my head to reconcile |
| ''My burdens of the Earth must be well deserved'' |
| So I begged for mercy from the one |
| Now the angel’s gone, and hell’s become my home |
| I sit and think how life has gone |
| Would it be unfair to ask for more? |
| The beggar knows |
| The angel since returned to the one once spurned and claims the invitation |
| won’t expire |
| Somehow i just can’t see salvation as elite |
| And so I sent the angel on his way |
| Should heaven be so vain, bring on judgment day |
| I sit and think what love has done |
| Could it be that I’m the one so wrong? |
| The beggar knows |
| Your congregation’s meeting |
| The chosen pray |
| Ignore the beggars pleading and turn away |
| Sinners rising sinners casting stones again |
| Sinners bring the beggar to his end |
| His eyes have seen heaven’s at hand |
| Thunder roars, the clouds bring gales forces, wicked battering |
| The sun hangs his head in shame |
| Those who joined in life with the beggar shall be reconciled |
| For the vain — cast into the lake of fire |
| And now I hope you see malaise in vanity |
| And that you may not be a chosen one |
| Ain’t no one really knows which way the spirits go |
| Yet I believe that action speaks a ton |
| If we are to become one with salvation |
| I sit and think what death will bring |
| Will I burn in flames or fly on wings |
| The beggar knows |
