Michael Ernst - Heaven In Hell

I know little of God or the Devil
Though I've often heard the tale
How a good soul rises on angelic wings
Or a sinner descends pleading for mercy to no avail

I have not horns nor halo
Yes good and evil I have been
No angels do I see circling me
And perhaps demons do I possess within

Is there paradise above? A lake of fire below?
The Devil or God, I don't know anymore
But here on earth, my heaven left me in hell
When she walked out the door

(2012)
