Adam's Penitence

Cursed Condemned Unholy as I stand Coerced Dead end I'm not a saint, I'm just a man Lost at sea in a world of pain and strife Where there's no mercy, there's no respite My faith is tested, and I'm in the fight Struggling To stay Afloat Deceivers Who fooled me Your lusts stoked Hell's fire With degenerate, craven, mortal pyres A broken man With broken dreams He's ripped apart Torn at his seams By narcissistic Self-deceit His path to Hell Was soon complete He has sinned He has strayed He's done wrong And I'm ashamed A wicked man He shall atone The price of sin Will be paid in full Uuughhh! I should have known My soul had strayed To this hedonic world I've been a slave My transgressions Have Been vast Darkness It grips me It's easier When your spirits empty En-caged at the crossroad My mind is filled with thoughts of gloom Have I reaped the fruit of my own doom? With this wicked path, I've chosen to take I've ruined my life For my own sake I'm a broken man With broken dreams I'm ripped apart Torn at my seams By Narcissistic Self-deceit My path to hell Is soon complete Oh I have sinned I have strayed I've done wrong And I'm afraid I'm a wicked man And I shall atone The weight of sin Wears heavy on my soul With a shattered heart And a broken mind That life of pain I want left behind Forgive me, Lord I send recompense A plea for grace Adam's Penitence The Darkness It gripped me It's easier When your spirit's empty Encaged at the crossroad
