Maggots

My demons have got a hold on me I can feel their presence when I sleep Pulling me down into this great abyss Filling my joy with sorrows emptiness Dragging my soul across the coals of hell Where the arid land is filled with hopes decaying smell Maggots eat upon the dead flesh of my rotted faith From a God I once loved but now have learned to hate The bible tells me there is a better day But that day has come and now its passed away Im no longer buying the bull*****this world has to sell I closed that bloody book of holy wars and say oh well Silence has now become my only friend And my fear has become its own unto the bitter end I can hear you knocking, but I won't adhere Because Lord your no longer welcomed here I have tried to do things Your way And it ripped the smile from my face Now my Lord and demons can not kill what isn't there I say **** it all into the darkness where I disappear
