The Beggar

Once an angel came to me and said "Do you lack inside?"
 And so I raised my head to reconcile
 "My burdens of the Earth must be well deserved"
 So I begged for mercy from the one
 Now the angel's gone, and hell's become my home
 I sit and think how life has gone
 Would it be unfair to ask for more?
 The beggar knows
 The angel since returned to the one once spurned and claims the invitation won't expire
 Somehow i just can't see salvation as elite
 And so I sent the angel on his way
 Should heaven be so vain, bring on judgment day
 I sit and think what love has done
 Could it be that I'm the one so wrong?
 The beggar knows
 Your congregation's meeting
 The chosen pray
 Ignore the beggars pleading and turn away
 Sinners rising sinners casting stones again
 Sinners bring the beggar to his end
 His eyes have seen heaven's at hand
 Thunder roars, the clouds bring gales forces, wicked battering
 The sun hangs his head in shame
 Those who joined in life with the beggar shall be reconciled
 For the vain - cast into the lake of fire
 And now I hope you see malaise in vanity
 And that you may not be a chosen one
 Ain't no one really knows which way the spirits go
 Yet I believe that action speaks a ton
 If we are to become one with salvation
 I sit and think what death will bring
 Will I burn in flames or fly on wings
 The beggar knows
