World of Lies

I’m finally broken by this world of lies I’ve had enough of this place, time to say my goodbyes Screaming to the sky, I weep and I cry I don’t deserve this wretched life, why oh why? Drowning in my world of sorrow I’m all set to depart, there’s no more time to borrow The walls are closing in, becoming ever so narrow No longer do I desire another tomorrow Then suddenly, a righteous rumbling from deep within Way down in my core, below all the sin An aura of splendour was urging calm And to gaze closely at the intricacies upon my very palm I was a flood with clarity as my heart skipped a beat Creating something so exquisite was no easy feat I was born of perfection, so utterly divine In my darkest hour, I finally received the sign The truth was then revealed to me; that nothing ever truly dies It just changes form as it departs this world of lies This earth is not a horrid place of condemnation It has spiritual growth upon its very foundation In this place, we must learn all we can Overcoming adversity, becoming a better man There’s not much time, not much of a span This life is just a fragment of a divine master plan Now my time has finally come to ascend that heavenly stair My somber soul freed at last from great despair Suddenly, it all makes sense as I’ve become fully aware Glory to my creator is what I devoutly declare
