He looked like an angel with his strapping wings
To which I clung fast, and we took our space flight
After passing rapidly thru nebulous gelid rings
The gloom was replaced by a blazing unearthly light
It didn't take long before we landed on a planet
So similar to my home that I felt a bit nostalgic
Into the perfect dub of the Earth I was drawn like a magnet
A beautiful landscape inviting to relish, as if painted by magic
I asked my winged amigo if there were any dwellers around
He nodded, and led me to a tower that stood 600 feet high
After unlocking the front door, he said, ''Welcome to my stamping ground''
As we entered a big unfurnished room, I uttered a loud cry
I saw naked men and women of all ages standing in a line
With their faces emotionless, they looked like the living dead
I felt creepy, and my friend said, ''They feed on bread and wine
After they have destroyed their souls, they're hanging by a thread
You can wait outside until I fetch them their food''
He was back in no time, and fear could be seen in his eyes
''You want to know what I am, '' he said, ''I'm beyond evil and good
A messenger, a doorkeeper to the realm where the truth lies
You're gonna be my substitute in days to come, understood? ''
