Death In Flesh

DEATH IN FLESH

My lungs get smaller and smaller as I gasp for breathe
And my eyes blurs now all I can see is death
On a flaming chariot racing at me in flesh 
Yet I’m not scared as I checked 
How can this be I can see fear crawling inside of me
As I struggle one after another to try to breathed
As I scream it’s not fair. Life itself isn’t fair
As I have flashback of my childhood years
It’s not long enough as I cried crying and crying till I was out of tears
As I recite my last prayers
I suddenly have to feel the atmosphere 
Get narrow & narrow as I stand their just staring at the air
I start to scream as blood flow out of my mouth 
My nose my eyes and even my ears
As I start living my worst nightmare 
Knowing the end of my life is really near 
What have I accomplish in this cruel world 
I start to compare. Quickly I see a guy appear
With a book, a big red velvet book, 
I start wondering what’s inside as I anxiously looked 
As he ripped and took one of the page and showed it to me,
And what I saw with this eye I was shooked  
it was me as an infant when I 1st cried 
He ripped out another page an gave to me 1st I first lied 
when I first stole from the cookie jar, when I first got high,
When I 1st inserted evil into my 2 eyes 
My sins were all revealed from the 1st time I used Gods name in vain 
To the 1st time I had instinct to kill 
I saw all I’ve done from the first time I got breath to the last time it left
He showed me as my corpse go beneath the earth 
As I saw my flesh turns in to dirt
I start to think was all I’ve done really worth
Me spending eternity in pain, 
As my soul is being torched in flame
I scream till I scream out my lungs 
As I watch my skin burn as I yarn
Yarn and yarn for a drop of pure liquid 
I screamed out of my lungs as he screamed with me
Mocking and taunting me “ahaaaaaa” he said no one can hear you
One can hear you one can hear you one can hear you one can hear you.”
