Analysis of After Life Bath
Lyle Richards 1992 (WV)
Close the void, open the gates.
Shed light upon heaven, With hells flames.
Induced by the truth of the unnatural things.
Alienated to what the world thinks,
Instead of what you self proclaimed.
Crucified is the soul with nails biting,
The flesh that remains.
Destroyed by love
the beast becomes,
A figment of
imagination.
Fading to the past, due to the fact
the broken heart would last
To the after life bath
