unholy prayer i
my enemy
who lurks in heaven
fuck your name
your kingdom will burn
your will has been taken from you
on earth we will curse you in heaven
give me your flesh this day
not by will but by fear
and don't forgive my transgressions
as I will not forgive yours
my temptations and demons have risen
and evil has overcome me
for I have taken your kingdom
your power
and piss on your glory
(for ever and ever)
(I will have my hand on your throat)
who lurks in heaven
fuck your name
your kingdom will burn
your will has been taken from you
on earth we will curse you in heaven
give me your flesh this day
not by will but by fear
and don't forgive my transgressions
as I will not forgive yours
my temptations and demons have risen
and evil has overcome me
for I have taken your kingdom
your power
and piss on your glory
(for ever and ever)
(I will have my hand on your throat)

The very last line is a gem, in the context of what precedes it. A clever perversion of the Lord's Prayer, though I think I prefer the sequel, strangely enough. This is good, but "unholy prayer ii" was a fucking masterpiece.

yeah the last line was ok but ive used that image of having my hand on someones throat before so it doesnt entice me much.. actually i dont like either poem just publishing them as experiments in messing with the lords prayer and psalms 23
Mindblowing!!!

The poem itself starts with a punch..."my enemy who lurks in heaven", and then, the best part I enjoyed is "your will has been taken from you on earth..."...and the rest I agree with Jack:-)

By acknowledging His "kingdom, power and glory" you give Him credence, showing your necessity to believe in Him existentially.

well i was just using a play on words on the lords prayer so i had to add some familiar lines.. i dont believe in the christian God anymore.. i was a christian for 25 years.. and then it took me 2 years to dechristianize myself.. so no i dont believe in the christian God.. im agnostic i believe theres something bigger than ourselves or something weird going on under the surface of things i just dont know what that is or they are
