My Soul Slowly Burns
I stand at the gates of Hell
And I look out from within
My life afterall was one continous sin
Lovers I never loved
Poor I tread above
My life was only me
My desire was greed a plenty
The Word I heared but reasoned absurd
The world was gay and pleasuring lure
I feel for feelings and the need to belong
I lived for now when nothing is wrong
Whatever you did to ease the pain
Legal or not it was in my veins
Days and nights blended and fade
I was verily alive living in my grave
Hate and hating was all my rage
My house became a security cage
People who loved me shunned and disowned
I party and party in crowds yet alone
My soul condemned my death journey down
Into the pits of firey Hell I myself found
Regrets, remorse what is the use
I lived life as if the gift was abuse
So I stand inside the gates of Hell
And turn to the fires to dwell
The wages of sin I earn
Death as my soul slowly burns
