A precipitant flight betwixt stifling trees
A foolish
Desperate craven
Destined To Hang
As in a nightmare, I stumbled through woods
My cloth ripped by judgment sudoric flesh shorn
The phantom of terror loomed, ever giving chase
As a capricious spectre not bound to one face
Still shaken by horror, fresh blood on my hands
I'd awoken to the sound of her screams
I'd sinned as I slept, surely even God wept
As my mother was taken from me
So I fled from total depravity
Into the mercy and light of your love
I can't forget what I've done
So forgive me Father
I'm coming Home
With a rope 'round my neck
The rivers and fields of gold lie
Where tragedy dies and the sun never sets
I'm Innocent
Though I've thrice Christ denied
Though I've revelled in sin
Though I, like flowers defiled
Clothed myself in beauty whilst rot lay within
Twice before, mine own hand was stay'd
The Lord as my shepherd, answered as I prayed
But my fingers were crossed, I'm still clutching the blade
Simply a justified sinner destined to hang
So with one step towards heaven and a kick of my feet
A noose woven from fate's thread tighten'd round me
I finally wept as my grief became dreams of piquant ecstasy
So farewell O' alluring obscenity
Thus I reap from the wages of sin
I'm dying to see what's to come
So forgive me, Father
I'm coming Home
With a rope 'round my neck
The rivers and fields of gold lie
Where tragedy dies and the sun never sets
Though I've thrice Christ denied
Though I've revelled in sin
Though I, like flowers defiled
Clothed myself in beauty whilst rot lay within
