please try not to get lost in your intricate artifice.
are we still sowing strife,
waging our wars out there?
resurrecting old lies -
don't you think that would not be fair?
if we see the apocalypse -
will we not be the ones
to instigate it?
it came time to count our sins,
while heaven shuts down its songs and looks down and grins.
your armor is what you think more than what you wear,
self-inflicted desintegration is what one needs.
I'd be pleased if you summoned me here to divulge my deeds.
if we see the apocalypse -
that will not be enough.
and no penance, no scourge of god ever made me kneel,
hear them say 'come and see' as I'm opening the first seal.
dear, the sound of hooves culminates our rights and wrongs,
Beelzebub's got a devil for me, I'm just waiting in line.
if the world just ends - give me time for one last crime.
_________
if we see the apocalypse -
(seriously, I'd be thrilled)
come closer.
you are the light
that's
gonna get me
killed.
