IT'S ONLY A JOB (Lyric) by horus8
Everyone with a story line up here
But please make sure You're in single file
That way I can view your sober faces
For miles, and miles
Do not speak out loud, or fall asleep
No fights, nor trifles amongst you sheep
This is to be my job for a year and a week
and if by chance you anger me
I will make you leak
Onto the floor, into the earth
She is your mother, but not by birth
You will soon not forget my hair nor smile
You can't help but want my job for awhile
Secrets hide in pigments divided
The yin, the yang are both two-sided
Who said black is bad and white is good
Gold to rich, brown to poor
Red is the garb of a senseless whore
Blue in the sky, yellow in the sun
Will it still be this way
When it's all undone
What color are you when you do die?
All of them yes
I know this is true
Having died more than once
Hath gave me this clue
When deep within death
You find yourself closer to life
Carrying a strange understanding
Of both husband and wife
Mother and father, hater and lover
To finally wear the shoes of another
The points on my head
The dents in your fingers
A misshapen soul will re-form and linger
Where it did die for a second will hover
Then it'll disperse to seek out a new lover
Even in death you must never be alone
The thought is too scary
The whole notion full-grown
You there!
Behind the man with no head
Step over here please
Get away from the dead
Ah, yes
I see you're still yet a boy
A sacrifice from God to become Satan's toy
I pull from my pocket this old silver bell
Around your neck it will jingle
As you lead my flock through hell
Stop at the River Styx
To give them a drink
Don't you drink the water though boy
Because, as Charon would quote
It's used to seal up one's fate
The drenching disclosure of eternal energies
Is caused by my moat
My energy now
When you're done run along back to me
I have so much to show you in just one year and a week
So hurry along as I blow you this kiss
Then I'll open my book
To take your name from my list
Just another year and a week
Until I'm right on the brink
Then and only then will I hand it all over
To the wearer of the silver bell
Who... will then rule hell
Ah the burden
The strain
Of this job with minimal gain
When in the end just to turn it all over?
To float up into the heavenly sky?
I'll then ask Him if it was all a man-made lie
He'll give me a bell and a smile
And I'll get to be Him for awhile
For a year and a week anyhow
The complete turning of soil
Topwards floating of oil
We're all just scales
On this giant snake's coil
Constricting the earth
For all that it's worth
Having been taught by our fathers
Since the day of our birth

Parts of it (to me anyway) remind me of a Chilli Peppers song!
not sure about 'as charon would quote' but love the rest of it! (7)
