"a NeW rElIgIoN"
Aug 4, 2000

I started dying every night
To make his theories true,
Believing in them completely,
Believing he wouldn't find out.
And while the other was playing guitar,
I wondered what the world
would be in 10 years,
If he would still be Jesus,
And if his disciples will have fallen.
They always played the music too loud,
They always pounded the drugs.
But I told them all I would see them tomorrow,
I finished the song,
And I left.
Now as dew knocks heavily at the glass,
I wonder how I have advanced,
Been thrust, eso es, into another
day of hell - and of heaven.
I still believe his words,
But never had I thought
I'd begin to live them.
