Tearing Off Their Wings

There's a man standing on a book
He screams into the world
I hear his screams and turn away
Away from the madness and hate
Like the rest are turning or dying
I walk from the man

He doesn't love, this man
Just stands on his book and yells
I'm tired of waiting for coherence
I'm tired of pretending ignorance
I am who I am what I am
And not even the Reaper will change me

A man tearing off angel's wings
He almost got mine
I saw him take so many
Before I lost my mind

He doesn't pause to consider
Just screams louder with each day
I am deaf to his moronic ideas and pleas
I am the darkness that got away
He is the slayer of innocence
And he loves to kill my hope

A man tearing off angel's wings
He almost got mine
I saw him take so many
Before I lost my mind

He is the man in the closet
The monster under my bed
I fear to walk and talk and sing
Because of all he's said
The man on the book thinks he is righteous
But the man on the book will fall

A man tearing off angel's wings
He almost got mine
I saw him take so many
Before I lost my mind

Goodnight, man on the book
I'll see you in hell
You've killed so many souls
Yes, you've served Satan well

You have captured his essence and described it well. Remember though that it is the man that is evil and not the book.

Sing out joyfully.
