Soul To Repast

In reference to nothing Alone with itself The truth burns in fury Damnation to melt Its legions are many Believers so few The stragglers all freezing And lined in the queue The mirror the liar Death hiding within The priest the deceiver Who threatens with sin But truth holds dominion Setting fire to the throne Rising above and beyond What's self-righteously known It calls to you silent As it calls to you loud Do you hide in the shadows Or answer back proud That thing that you reference From your prison within Those things done in deference Now caught in the wind You lie as you bargain You cheat and defame One voice now your jailer And calling your name Your back to the altar You hide in the pew Before robbing the poor box A new low for you Your history tarnished And legacy shot Your name ill-begotten From all you are not But truth has no time stamp No ticket to claim One choice will release it Life starting again Your mortal days finite You have to act fast Will you ask for redemption —your soul to repast (Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2014)
