a very long time ago I died
and I went to heaven
there was nothing there
it was empty
no gods, no angels
nothing but stale air
a place of forgotten promises
and empty dreams
that cannot dull the screams
coming from down below
after that
I figured
I should go looking for hell
maybe there'd be someone to tell
someone who knows
but earth was as far down as it goes
as it turns out you can't suffer worse
you can't hurt more
or give pain more worth
than what hearts feel
right here on earth
so lofty thrones are no good
empty halls offer no rest
with hearts and souls oppressed
so I sat back down
a dead thing in a dead body
back on earth
to make the smallest change
a petty exchange
for whatever rest I may earn
because I suspect
next time
I might not return
