Deathbed Confessions


This song sprung from a book that was titled Last Words of Saints and Sinners. I wish that I could tell you that there was a little more behind it, but that was about it. I tend to channel my writing a lot and this was written in about 45 minutes.

It speaks to the pursuit of heaven through mere mortals. Thinking that we can buy our way to heaven and then the thought that we are far more important than we really are.

Deathbed Confessions
words and music by Gene Gorski

Last words spoken from the lips of saints and sinners
Third eye glancing through the gates of heaven or hell
Tunnel so long with the light that shines and shimmers
To answer the tolling bell

Deathbed confessions
To unanswered questions
My life’s playing like a Saturday matinee
Hypnotic regression
Or celestial wrestling
To see who gets my soul come judgement day

Salvation calls sinners floating in their fear
Wrapping up their soul in a sanctified veneer
Buying that first class ticket to the last frontier
Hear that tolling bell

Deathbed confessions
To unanswered questions
My life’s playing like a Saturday matinee
Hypnotic regression
Or celestial wrestling
To see who gets my soul come judgement day

Fates can only laugh, "What fools these mortals be"
My soul is prized by no one other than me
Henchman play your role, send me to eternity
The bell is tolling for me

My spirit is ready to be set free
Free to wander through this eternity
Eternally seeking my immortality
What fools these mortals be

The bell is tolling for me
