Standing Tall In Limbo
ALL I HAVE IS TIME ALL THE TIME.
AND ON MY MY MIND WAS ALL MY MIND.
I PAID THE COST WHEN MY HEART TURNED FROST.
COLD AS ICE WHEN I HAD IT TOSSED.
INTO A SEA OF HATE INTO A SEA OF EVIL.
INTO A PLACE OF RAGE WHERE THERE WAS NO RETRIEVAL.
MINE EYES TURNED BLACK INTO A STATE OF LIMBO.
NO SENSE OF DIRECTION NO HIGHWAY SYMBOLS.
NO FLAWLESS VICTORIES, NO HONOR AND GLORY.
NO EXAGGERATIONS OF THIS TRUE STORY.
THE TONGUE OF A SNAKE THE SERPENTS SON.
THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL THE WICKED ONE.
I WAS NEVER BEGET I WAS NEVER BEGOTTEN.
I WAS BORN FROM THE FLESH TO BE EATEN WHILE ROTTEN.
FROM FLORA TO FAUNA SAVED ARE GOD'S CREATIONS.
THE GENESIS OF MY BIRTH THOUGH ORDAINED ABOMINATION.
FIRE AND BRIMSTONE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
WHO AM I BUT A SOUL WITHOUT SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS.
FAITH YOU SAY OF A MUSTARD SEED?
BUT FAITH IS DEAD WITHOUT WORKS OR DEEDS.
YOU SPEAK OF LOVE AND ADORATION.
SIMPLISTIC THOUGHTS AND MANIPULATION.
BUT AS TIME GOES ON IT TOO SHALL PROVE.
IF LOVE IS FAITHFUL AND IF IT MOVES.
INTO THE ENDLESS PIT THE CONSTANT FALL.
A MOBIUS PITCH THE MINDS EYE BALL.
NOTHING BUT PURE THOUGHTS JUST A BLACK HOLE.
YOU WOULD KNOW THAT TRUE INSPIRATION DERIVED FROM IT ALL.
CONSTANT BABEL NO PEACE JUST PUN.
THEY KNOW EVERYTHING...EVERYONE.
NO LENDING EARS NO HELPING HANDS.
JUST GREED AND FEAR OF ONLY MAN.
BUT YOU ALONE FACE IT ALL.
WITHOUT DISPAIR YOU STILL STAND TALL.
