Forever, stranded in paradise

I will live to see blood pour from the sky like poetry from the lips of my accuser

He makes for me a table in the presence of mine enemies

To face scorn and derision

In a place above his right hand

Abuse yourselves and the ones you love

For this was all that I had left

Beyond the delusion of an eternity

Something much blacker is ever putrefying in time

And it pulsates through my veins

All I ever wanted was to be truly alive

And now I will truly die

Before your eyes, a thousand times

For the forgiveness of your sins and the perpetuity of chastisement

To what condemnation shall we be chastised beyond the grace of death?

To what shape of misery shall I offer this broken place?

Watch as I bleed behind your walls

I crumble unnoticed, without even a passing glance to validate my existence
