A Hard Mix Between Heaven and Hell

There is a place where few have been
No beginning and no end
A place where I am prepared to go
They say you reap what you sow
I have done my share of very bad things
I flew home to piss on my ex-wife\'s grave
Drinking, smoking, lots of lust and sin has helped me come out of my shell
I am experiencing a hard mix between Heaven and Hell
Practicing Witch Craft one step away from a human sacrifice
I could feel the blood in my veins turn to ice
My life has been a twist and turn affair, never a straight line
If I were to ask you are you dark or do you shine
Nobody is holier than thou, so stop the fake front
Come clean with the bad things you have done
Do a gut check and you will be able to tell
How potent  is your shot will be of Heaven and Hell
There is chess board in everyone\'s life and we are all pawns
Just which side is your bread buttered on
Do gooders, most are sinners behind closed doors
Money is the root of all evil, yet churches ask people to give more
A percentage of your income to make the preachers rich
They have no interest in you, yet you are one dollar away from sleeping in a ditch
Sinners openly display their intentions in life
Wife cheats on husband because husband cheats on wife
Go ahead and pray for forgiveness for all your daily sins, another trip to the well
Here, the bar is open, here's your hard mix of Heaven and Hell
Catholic Priests molesting alter boys, they will definitely face the heat
Is there forgiveness for them to reach their Heavenly retreat
Where do you fit in with the grand master scheme of things, no one can tell
Everyone will be able to place their order for their shot of Heaven and Hell

Fallen

Every morning that I wake now I speak your name
This gypsy life I live is the only gut check that causes me pain
I try so hard to bring myself home but time it seems so long
I try so hard looking into your eyes to see if something is wrong
I try running but I am never fast enough
God help me, I need the smallest bit of luck

Well now I’ve fallen
But on my lips your name I’m calling
Is this forever?
This pain well no I never
Felt like this before
Just take my hand and please don’t close the door

These frosty days melt into one, they’re all the same
Like a wounded soldier now I walk like I’ve been maimed
My heart is caged up desperately wanting to find a way out
Searching for a way to show you how I feel so you won’t doubt….
