Title: Devil Swept Us Down Writer: Mike Szuter

"Silence", she said, as we walked down the lane. And looked past my mind, as it started to rain. "God save your spirit", I whispered alone. As we ran past a mill, I heard her moan. "Look on," And I followed her heed. And I saw we had a more desperate need. "Goodbye", I bade my soul. And walked to my doom, which looked rather dull. And which originally looked like a demon or two, I lit my torch, and it was satan's army in full view. And now as a prophet of good I did what I might as well would. I got on my knees and began to pray. I knew it would be my last day As I was taken down, I knew even god couldn't pull me out I was going to hell, and I had no doubt. I drifted away quick, and was nothing for a second. And I arrived in a place, with glowing pictures. And everyone looked at me like a crazy drifter. And they ridiculed my, calling me crack-boy, and other names But I had no time for their devil games. I found a lonely soul sitting in a corner. He was a very lonely mourner. I talked awhile, and asked some questions. He told me of all the bad opression. I watched around me and some died. I always thought in hell, people fried. But this seemed very hellish, indeed. Because those who walk around bleed. And I asked him exactly where we were. "Las Vegas", Was all he'd incurred. And I asked the date. "November 8" I asked for a year. He looked at my eyes, so clear. "It's 1997, and I'm waiting for heaven" I knew the Devil Swept Us Down And no one was ready to drown.
