"HANDSOME AND TALL"
HANDSOME AND TALL 

I wrote this down
so you may know
what happened to me
not long ago.


I guess it's been
five or six years
I've been wondering around
wading in tears.


There came a great ruler
handsome and tall
he was full of answers
and loved by all.


He had a master plan
for all of man kind
our lives would be better
and more so refined.


They destroyed some churches
and burnt all their books
for all I had known
those churches were crooks.


Not all churches were burned
there were only a few
but how was I to know
what those churches knew.


They called a big assembly
down at the park
we were told to go there
and receive our mark.


The mark was to help us
according to their plan
it would better the world
for every living man.


I went to the park
but when I got there
I stopped for a moment
and started to stare.


A thought came to me
way back from my youth
a preacher preached "the mark"
and told me the truth.


I always thought
if I faced that day
I'd refuse the mark
and sincerely pray.


I would be able to resist
I wasn't that dumb
I wouldn't be alive
to see that day come.


I turned around
and walked away
packed my stuff
and left that day.


They hunted me down
to say the least
if I was going to live
I'd worship the beast.


They took me to a place
and in through the door
the stench was brutal
dead bodies on the floor.


The cries and screaming
gave me such chills
people were suffering
as they broke their wills.


The people were disfigured
with excruciating pain
they were naked and starving
it was insane.


They took me to a room
stripped me of my clothes
they took off everything
from my head to my toes.


We left that room
and entered a hall
they put us in line
against a cold wall.


One by one
they led us through
as I heard the screams
what could I do.


They had a big mound
of people's heads
they were cutting them off
as the bible had said.


They took people's hand
as they enjoyed
smashing them with hammers
their finger's were destroyed.


They pushed me up
and pulled out my arm
I knew they would hurt me
they meant me great harm.


As he raised the hammer
I let out a yell
I'LL TAKE IT! I'LL TAKE IT!!
it was living hell.


Everything seemed
to get very dark
I put out my hand
and received the mark.


Then they took me outside
put me back on the street
gave me some clothes
and something to eat.


Although I'm alive
with my finger's and toe's
I am full of such sorrows
that nobody knows.


Now having the mark
that has damned me to fire
my soul was sold
for the devil to acquire.
