World Of Lies
I’m finally broken by this world of lies
I’ve had enough of this place, time to say my goodbyes
Screaming to the sky, I weep and I cry
I don’t deserve this wretched life, why oh why?
Drowning in my world of sorrow
I’m all set to depart, there’s no more time to borrow
The walls are closing in, becoming ever so narrow
No longer do I desire another tomorrow
Then suddenly, a righteous rumbling from deep within
Way down in my core, below all the sin
An aura of splendour was urging calm
And to gaze closely at the intricacies upon my very palm
I was a flood with clarity as my heart skipped a beat
Creating something so exquisite was no easy feat
I was born of perfection, so utterly divine
In my darkest hour, I finally received the sign
The truth was then revealed to me; that nothing ever truly dies
It just changes form as it departs this world of lies
This earth is not a horrid place of condemnation
It has spiritual growth upon its very foundation
In this place, we must learn all we can
Overcoming adversity, becoming a better man
There’s not much time, not much of a span
This life is just a fragment of a divine master plan
Now my time has finally come to ascend that heavenly stair
My somber soul freed at last from great despair
Suddenly, it all makes sense as I’ve become fully aware
Glory to my creator is what I devoutly declare
