Preacher, Tell Me of Heaven

Preacher, tell me of heaven,
if you must,
of demons and angels
that lurk in the twilight
and thirst my sinful soul.

Tell me of the shame I should feel
for my sex,
for my passion,
for the evil words I pour into this world.

Tell me
and I'll tell you
of truth beyond the oxymoron,
beyond the faceless face
and constant shame,

I'll tell you of the roads you've paved
on top of crushed ivory and bone,
of diamonds washed in blood of negros,
of Jews and pagans that are no more.

And so we'll stand at the dawn
of the age of reason, talking,
and I'll say that tyrants don't live long,
that freedom asks for no redemption
and we don't need your holy song.
