When I Was Little I Used to Write Letters to God
I’ll die with this pen in my hand if I have to
I will not call out your name one more time
Destroy everything and set fire to every lie has ever been told to you
So lets dance tonight and leave this world to burn
It only takes five fingers to make a fist
I will not pray for dreams to come true or spend more days on my knees in search of you
This is my life and I take back everything I have ever asked for
I’ll burn myself clean
You were never right and I was never wrong
I have no time for heroes and no space for saviors– The Judas Cradle (2004)

Hi! Tony,
I’am not familiar with Judas Cradle, but their words…are very “poignant” and “rings so true” when it comes to director Robert Siodmak’s 1949 film Criss Cross.
The two lead characters (Burt Lancaster and Yvonne De Carlo) and that ending!
By the way, author Spencer Selby, devote an entire chapter to this film… instead of, or just a synopsis
in his book “Dark City.”
[Selby said,“Unable to shake the spell of his ex-wife, man is induced to participate in a payroll robbery planned by her new husband. Siodmak’s seductive, hypnotic story of obsession and betrayal. See Page…”]
Thanks, for sharing!

Hey DeeDee. The band is (was?) pretty obscure and the music ‘hardcore’, but those lyrics are really powerful.

Well, the tie-in here between Judas Cradle and those fateful characters in CRISS CROSS is a powerful one indeed, and those lyrics do quality for the ‘noir poet’ umbrella. Ah, CRISS CROSS! I’ll be seeing that on October 13th in a double feature with ARMED CAR ROBBERY:
