The Beggar - Alabama Thunderpussy

Once an angel came to me and said ''Do you lack inside?''

And so I raised my head to reconcile

''My burdens of the Earth must be well deserved''

So I begged for mercy from the one

Now the angel’s gone, and hell’s become my home

I sit and think how life has gone

Would it be unfair to ask for more?

The beggar knows

The angel since returned to the one once spurned and claims the invitation

won’t expire

Somehow i just can’t see salvation as elite

And so I sent the angel on his way

Should heaven be so vain, bring on judgment day

I sit and think what love has done

Could it be that I’m the one so wrong?

The beggar knows

Your congregation’s meeting

The chosen pray

Ignore the beggars pleading and turn away

Sinners rising sinners casting stones again

Sinners bring the beggar to his end

His eyes have seen heaven’s at hand

Thunder roars, the clouds bring gales forces, wicked battering

The sun hangs his head in shame

Those who joined in life with the beggar shall be reconciled

For the vain — cast into the lake of fire

And now I hope you see malaise in vanity

And that you may not be a chosen one

Ain’t no one really knows which way the spirits go

Yet I believe that action speaks a ton

If we are to become one with salvation

I sit and think what death will bring

Will I burn in flames or fly on wings

The beggar knows
