The curse I was born with, the sin of the time

The sublime gift I got from Eve and her dire crime.

 

Rhymes of a fallen angel from the sky

He tells to follow but instead I deny

Knowing that the future I will comply

Isn’t any better than the hell I live by.

 

We were taught to ignore our sight

For heaven was the biggest delight

The price to pay wasn’t one to fight:

Just give all that makes you feel alive

And soon after you will follow the light.  

 

Before you enter the Kingdom of Grace

You will stop in a place to clean the dirty lace

It’s time to look at your sins and let them out space

But don’t worry, it’s not a complicated maze

All you have to do is show the regret in your face

And believe you will get there at your own pace

 

The gates will open, you can’t wait to rush

Before you can access all that will make you blush

A last test must be past: a judgment based on your pass.

Here He will decide if you took his lessons with hush

Or if your old life had too much lush.

 

Alas you enter the place of joy

Good thing you were always a good boy

Welcome to the paradise -- time to enjoy

But you can’t forget all that you never employed

The regrets of a live you never enjoyed

All the memories you now wish you could destroy.

 

So I found myself in the skies

Looking for a place to rest my eyes

Somewhere that will clear my sight

From the hurtful memories in disguise.

Eating me from inside are these lies

They arise from nowhere to my demise

Should I have been wise and ignore the advice

Maybe one life would’ve been good enough to my surprise.

 

 

But you can’t go back and get a new start

You should have been smart from the very first time:

 

 

Take life as a piece of art

Never let it fall apart

Treasure it from the start

And love with all of your heart.

 

Enjoy every single sin

Don’t be afraid of skin

Be who you’ve always been

And find peace from within.

 

 

I can no longer resist this pain

I don’t know for how much longer I can contain

All that suffering was all in vain

And I now feel the consequences coming up my veins

Resting for eternity in my brain.

 

All the experiences I left behind

Were all in the name of the divine

I was so blind and my path I couldn’t find.

They said my love was unkind

That my urges were the results of the sins of mankind

That my pleasure was the wrong state of mind

They told me I had a last chance, which I had to confine

That’s why my happiness away I signed.

 

How is this any different than jail

I am safeguarded by the pale male

Here no one could prevail

From the regret you can inhale

 

Nothing I can do, it’s time to wish me farewell

I need to scape this holy cell

I need a magic spell

I need to break from my shell

Anywhere I can dwell

I don’t care If I fell

Or if in agony I yell

 

The lights of heaven can burn as much as the flames of hell,

Can’t you tell?
