Enemy of Good Fate
I climbed the peak and you pulled me down
You could have helped me stay rooted but instead you frowned
Frowned at my success, frowned at my pace, frowned at my place
You wished I had drowned
And so, you pulled me down
Down into waters I couldn't swim,
I was trapped behind error's door
Drowning through freezing cold, unfriended bodies as I sunk
You prayed I would
Let go off the ropes, see the light
I saw it shine, felt it's warmth embrace my skin
That light was my saving grace, it still is
The reason hell dreads me and God's waters rebirth me
I was revived in his presence, bought by his blood
Brought to your consciousness, unbowed from the dead
Dead in Christ, yet you yanked and yelled
Yelled and kicked
Kicked for the same air you wish to breathe
You tried to push me off the ledge
The same ledge you wish you stood
You couldn't keep me bound in your darkness
Chained by your ignorance and callousness
A great evil I could have never known resided in you
You fed it your fears, fed it your guts
You fed it your pride, envy and lust
You fed it your will, veering off the trinity's course hoping you fed me to my pains
My soul being, your favorite delicacy - you portentous cynic
Men's cries of torment are your favorite music
You tried to cripple me before I could take my first steps
You tried to cut off my wings
You tried because you couldn't stand to see me fly
You're the capricious devil in my life, the thief of my time
You call yourself an angel, trying to be like the maker
But you're just a fallen imposter determined to see my end
Shaitan!
You're my enemy of good fate
