The New Eden

The span of life decreases is the wage of sin suffocates. The bite of the apple's flesh rots within my soul with the seeds of death sprouting within my being Eternity mocks my meager bodies woes My labor rejected My toil futile My sweat hot is spurting blood The earth unforgiven, dry rocky chock with weeds Generations have cried for atonement the sins of the living bring fulfillment in wickedness curse all in birth to death hollow existence Mercy forgotten patterns of nature destructive might of storms, weak is shelter scorch of Sun, floods of rain the bitter frost that burns the naked skin Beseech all with questions answers of dead prophets blow in the wind Does eternity last forever the taste of water upon my lips drips into the pool of salvation time fades day by day shorter is the span of our existences Dare to look upon the heavens hear angels giggle never bow to a monkey Judgement nears as mercy wanes as sin devours all flesh The scars of a spike through his hands removes the seeds of death embedded in my heart the cross he bared cleanse my soul and leads me to everlasting paradise The world repents through the flame and in the ashes burst forth the new Eden Angels wash the feet of men.
