Tribute to the Angels by ~megan23451:iconmegan23451:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


Listen.
Do you hear it?
It's the angels singing.
Sound less than angelic?
They've fallen.

Dressed in black, not white,
Carrying guitars and a microphone, not lyres and trumpets.
Instead of glorifying God, they speak of death and revenge.
Not eternal life, but one thousand deaths in return for their lover's soul.

Yet to some, they really are angels.
They've touched the lives of more people than they will ever realize.
People have even chosen life over death because of them.

To you, maybe, they're the Devil.
To me, they're angels.

This was just something I did while I was half-sleeping. That's the third and final draft. I plan to give it to them on 12/14 when I see them.

HOORAY you didn't freak out on me <3 I really like it. One of the best things I've written in awhile, I think.

I'd be your angel if I hadn't lost my wings...

Dude, I hate it when people say "How could a band that depressing save your life?"

Its obvious. No matter how shitty your life is, the song will always be ten times more shittier (in the context and the emotion, not the song being shit.) XD

That's true too. But it's not just MCR, it was Fall Out Boy too, and there's a few more I can name. =/

But yeah, I really hate how people say that they're crap, on top of it all. It's obvious that unlike so many bands we listen to, they're not in it for the fame or the money, they do it because they honestly love what they do.

This reminds me of Orpheus and Eurydice, especially with the line "Not eternal life, but one thousand deaths in return for their lover's soul..." Really excellent work. :+fav:

\"good king of cats, nothing but one of your nine lives.\"
