The Melody of Misery

These eternal thoughts Got me locked inside this infernal box Caught within the devil’s jaws It’s been so long, it seems as though I forgot The difference between who’s my enemy vs. who’s not Couple screws gone I’d make a deal with God but my soul’s bought Now I’m trapped in this endless cycle of sin and pain No hope, no escape, no mercy, no gain Just a puppet on a string, dancing to the tune of fate A slave to my own choices, a victim of my own hate I search the Scriptures for a sign of grace But all I see is condemnation and disgrace I see the visions of the witches, telling me my doom But all I hear is silence, filling up the room Surrounded by misfortune and gloom Its time I atone, its set in stone I’m never going home

I think Cor. 15; !-4 or Col; the message of salvation. all that it requires. Faith. But the piece was nice to read.
