Contrition

Mercy will not rain down on me

Nor the bitter end come softly

Segregated from the seraph

Yet far from the imp



Vagabond of sun scorched dunes

Veteran of tight transgression

A word spoken in haste

Weighs upon the spirit



I can't feel anything but contrition



Because... morbid dreams surround my essence

Decimated corpses impaled on pikes

I turn from greed and fall into avarice

I turn from pride and fall into arrogance



Suffocation... waking screaming and lashing

One nightmare ends, another follows swiftly



Even though the sun shines bright

On a patch of ground, in a river of light

It would burn my skin to go within

To taste the unknown delight of being there

The mind can't seem to comprehend

The silken web that holds me in

Made of iron and pain and fury

It sometimes seems no way to win



Demonolgy has become my very life force

Someone tell me, where is this dream of Christ?

But even in the darkness, I would ask him to cast me out

Into the herd of swine, so that I might be freed



I no longer see but feel

I no longer breathe, my heart no longer beats

It's quite frightening, but I understand

Harris and Klebold's master plan



Even though the sun shines bright

On a patch of ground, in a river of light

I cannot traverse within

Because darkness is my inherent friend



So everyday I count my loss

And throw myself down before the cross
