My soul is almost pure

Though it doesn't feel so

The laws of mortals

Have never applied there

My name is Amazing Grace

Mother a demon, beautiful

Father, angel out of favor

Gabriel my constant protector

Curiosity has gotten me here

I wanted to be human

Exquisite pain I cannot stand

Complexities like the stars

Emotions that run rampant

I've forgotten His face

Ears cannot hear His voice

I dream of spreading my wings

Feeling the muscles stretch

Tense, send me soaring

Only when I wake I know

This body has none

Here, I'm tiny, inconsequential

I am the Keeper of Knowledge

Except I can't remember

How to get back to the Stairs

That a Servant started down

And a Human emerged from

I'm confused and lost

I've forgotten how to pray

Learning how to love

The same as wrenching pain

My golden halo long gone

Crumbled in the filthy streets

Winding through these lifetimes

Twenty-six I've counted

One second in Eternity

The songs I've lovingly written

To flow through Men's veins

Have all but disappeared

But I hardly age, never die

I needed to know the human heart

Though He forbade it

I, under The All Seeing Eye

Formed an alliance with my Brother

The Enemy, Sweetest Liar

My vain beloved, Lucifer

I wander endlessly in Purgatory

Dually hounded and protected

Alternately serene and full of rage

For I am being indulged

And also horribly punished

Watching the beauty of this World

Self destruct in ill used hands

While He turns half a blind eye

Since we have lost the Words of Worship

I desire to be near Him

Yet languish in the Deadly Sins

My Brother is strong, persuasive

The pure soul easily corruptable

Home has no misery

I have no defense to pain

Willpower untested by temptation

Weaker for having been here

Name unfitting, Amazing Grace

I've lived only by mortal law

Lately He's let me know

Time for my decision is looming near
