The preacher's son and the birds of fire
The preacher's son, found and captured;
one of the birds of Fire. Those ones are invisible
to the naked eye. He thought that the bird
would lead him to paradise. . .
Still a child of course;
but when he saw the birds
spreading their wings
flying in circles. . .
He fell through the rings of fire, the rings of time
and landed in hell's eye; crying in despair
He fell down on his knees and yelled
- Why God? Why?
Where is the promised land
that you have once talked about?
Was it all a lie?
And kept his breath as he felt filled with horror
the mark of Cain burning on his shoulder;
he could smell the smell of his burning flesh
and in his heart he could see a black star burning in the middle.
As the days of his life slowly passed by, he wandered
through the darkness and dwelled upon his sorrow;
untill the day he heard a voice coming from the top of his head;
instantly he fell down paralysed but still kept the bird in his hands;
- My child. . . Don't you understand?
before you fell through the rings of fire. . .
you where already in heaven
Couldn't you hear my plea?
Touch your shoulders, what do you feel?
The preacher's son touched his shoulders and felt
his wings . . . they were broken. . .
- Come back my child. . . Give me your hand. . .
The preacher's son opened his hands and allowed
the bird of fire to fly free, gave his hand and flied;
^i^ The angels flight ^i^
