So Many Souls

from 4​-​track Songs 2008 by Jonni Greth

lyrics

Well I just got my guitar back from the dead
Singing like an angel, but she looks like hell
She was upstairs when St. Peter called the roll
Said, "We lost so many souls.
We lost so many souls."

I watched my love swim 'cross the Lake of Fire
Saw God burn away the things He didn't like
She said, "It's kinda warm, but you should come out fine.
You'll just have to leave your left hand behind
You'll just have to leave your left hand behind."

I said, "I can't let my body burn alive,
But if I eyes offend you, I'll pluck 'em out.
But if I amputated every limb causin' me to sin
Lord knows what I'd have cut off by now
Lord knows what I'd have cut off by now

My love said, "I watched lightning blitz the dark
Just like it had 2000 years before,
But war is hate, and love and hate are still at war,
And we've lost so many souls.
We've lost so many souls.
We've lost sooooo many souls."
