St. Peter |
In the middle of hell lies a little St. Peter |
In a hospital bed burning up |
With a cloth to his head, he is ridden by fever |
And I can’t even tell whether the demons have won |
And his mother is there with his brother tied to her back |
Praying as hard as she can to a god in a land that I think he forgot |
In the middle of hell where a death by mosquito |
Is as everyday as my coffee or your cigarette |
And she says «God bless me» |
She says «God bless me» |
And I shake my head |
Cause I can’t see God in this hospital bed |
But she says «God bless me» |
She says «God bless me» |
And I look away |
But as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place |
I pray |
Amen |
Amen |
I got plenty to give her but there’s nothing to offer |
And the little I brought comes far too late |
So I urge him to leave with a bottle of water |
He is 7 years old, sleeping outside pearly gates |
And his mother looks at me with eyes I will never let go |
They are angry and sad beyond measure and mad with a childbearing love that I |
know |
In the middle of hell we just sit with each other |
On a hospital bed begging for death to go home |
And she says «God bless me» |
She says «God bless me» |
And I shake my head |
Cause I can’t see God in this hospital bed |
But she says «God bless me» |
She says «God bless me» |
And I look away |
But as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place |
I pray |
Amen |
Amen |
In the middle of hell lies a little St. Peter |
In a hospital bed burning up |
