By lust ensnared, by innocent blood extricated

I am welcomed into the hall of murderers

Dreaming future memories

So shocking: covered with blood and dirt

My dead children in my arms

Amongst the graves embracing those

Too late to protect

Her deceit - my selfishness

Combine to spawn a torment that lingers

A brutal reality created in

The most intimate of moments

Making divine decisions but

Unable to deal with the consequences

Crushed by my will, beaten by my own weakness

The passage of time cannot replace what's lost

Aeons could not erase the shame

Guilt washed away by the blood of GOD

The weight of memory remains

But as these years pass

Wounds opened by my own hand

Are healed by undeserved forgiveness

Though some may condemn

The blood on my hands

Their pride shall be their undoing

For I answer to Him above

Aware of my wrong

Souls can never be destroyed

A distant celestial reunion

To heal completely the sins of my past

To cleanse all the filth of my deeds

By lust ensnared

By holy blood extricated

I am welcomed into the new city of GOD
