Cover art for Eye lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

It is life/existence through the eye / eyes of a deamon or the devil. He was created. All he has is what God gave him and yet he is in agony. On earth, drinking a drop of water a day. He can see the gates of heaven but it torments him to the point where he must look away. Is it any wonder he can't fucking sleep? There is no sleep for his kind. He finds peace through God, in just knowing He is in control, but it is not enough. Just a touch. A sorrow song to the pain of fallen angels.

@Lokie wow

@Lokie I agree. Sometimes you have to have compassion even for the seemingly perceived nefarious, what you cannot comprehend or understand. Theirs is a sadness and suffering that most will never know. Our connection with source may seem faint or fleeting but paradise for us is within. If we turn to light it’s always there. For Demons, the only glimmer of light is the reminder they see through the presence of humanity so they attach to us. We share in their suffering so that we may understand forgiveness is tantamount for survival and redemption for everything that exists.
