Story Behind the Song
i think this was the 2nd 'teen angst' poem i ever wrote. i was in history class, and we were learning about all of these horrors done in the name of christ, and i started thinking about all the untold stories that don't make it into history books.
Lyrics
i heard some sad news today
about that young man pete
he decided to take his life today
the note read, "god forgive me"
i saw pete's family today
they suffered a twisting pain
they wept for their loved one's life today
then for his soul they prayed...
god(s) are looking down on/at you
god(s) has/have pity for your soul(s)
they/he didn't/never want(ed) that/those book(s) of lies
some torture used to pay the toll
at times like these the christians wonder
what's wrong with the world today
they close their eyes and they think of jesus
(quickly) begging as they pray
i heard some more sad news today
about that young man paul
the christians' pressure took his life today
they're unaware they caused his fall
at times like these the clear ones wonder
what's wrong with the world today
they try to make the blind ones see
help is not in what they pray
i saw paul's bible today
and i suffered a twisting pain
i wept for its owner's life today
and then i threw the weapon away.
