Rituals contrived to ease the mind
Mysteries revealed, or are they lies
The ultimate truth remains unknown
until you die
Feeding the madness of uncertainty
Fearful of revenge
But sowing the violent seed
A lifetime of transgressions
Mentally tortured
Self inflicted punishment
No judgment more sever
A twisted corpse bound by fate
Spiraling plunge, shrouded in fear
Is there a purpose or merely destiny
Master or pawn of life's cruelties
Fearful of revenge
but sowing the violent seed
A lifetime of transgression
Mentally tortured
Self inflicted punishment
No judgment more severe
The curse of life, anticipating fate
Aware that one day death will come
Infernal shadows cast upon our earthly shell
Does life just cease or are our souls reborn
Enigma of the absolute
Useless to repent
What is the cost of paradise
A living death of righteous lies
Shackled by a mindless faith
Lamenting in vain
falling deep into distress
Life spent in sufferance
Shattered mind, corrupted flesh
Cowering in mortal fear
Clinging to a faded life
Futile prayer as the end draws near
Body now a withered frame
Fallen prey to time
Final thoughts are regret
Dying without ever knowing life
In sufferance
