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.
