Gates of Heaven
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?
