We live in a world of happiness, such a beautiful lie

Shallow dreams and false wishes we lift to the sky

We never truly live, time trickling through grasped hands like sand

Our world like locusts, plagued with dark man

We grumble sly gossip under our breath

And because of our fault, sin spreads like Black Death

We curse ourselves with lowly obsessions

Satan paying quick heed to our dying discretion

We caress the black burns is our palms like jewels

Our bodies, puppets marionettes, merely tools

Why do we play the world like a simple game?

Its money, its life for our personal gain

Can we not help but feel the fires from the lake of Hell?

Or do new forgethow God bought us from Satan’s Sell?

So we have grown stupid like the fallen in the Devils Domain

Our attempts at true life, dying in vain

Our master avarice and our mistress desire

Oh so soon, this game will vainly expire.

But what if we follow him from the black?

Our legs trembling behind our great Lord’s back

He would turn to face us and we would see then his faces

His spirit, all life wove from three laces

Even In this chaos he would give us his hand

This gesture of life, no complex demand

With our guilt and taint we couldn’t meet his eyes

The sins in our skins stealing our lives

Yet he lifted our heads to show us clemency

Saving our soul from human tendency

But why now would we leap back into this pit of Hell

Our shackles are broken and our wings fly well

All that lay there are those gnashing teeth, our forgiven foes.

For he who reaps is what he sows

So realize they are the reason we return to the hollows

Our friends our murderers and all they who follow

Why cast yourself into the abyss once you have escaped you ask?

Because this hell this place, is merely a mask.
