Walking On Sin

Feet soiled by the ashes of burnt name 
Black as the base of bottomless shame
Carrying on the shoulder murky disdain
You walked your life on the slimy sin.

Despised footprints crushed the ground 
Trailed you to disgraced ambiance around 
With soul crushed in depth of dark ruin
You walked your life on the slimy sin.

Introspection would light up the mind
Darkness dissolved, you would soon find
Footprints forget in lone remorse within
You walked your life on the slimy sin.

Indicted by the proclaimed self-judgement
Dark identity would collapse in the present
Erased footprints won’t remind you again
You walked your life on the slimy sin.
