Monologue of Redemption

I've killed the part of me that dwells in all humans

With that, I've sparked a bestial revolution 

My soul torn asunder

They've taken the walls

A broken man spawns forth a superior demon

A blood-soaked mind offers no refuge from the onslaught of eternity's screams

Floating on the brink of oblivion, I wonder, was I ever safe?

With guilty hands I ask. No I beg for redemption!

Put this beast down with a notion of forgiveness 

I jump from this cliff hoping to land in the arms of a higher power but I'm afraid I will be abandoned and left to continue to plummet through my homemade void; on and on, on and on, on and on...
