The devil's fateful praise

Where dreams and ambition dwell
A vague hint of pride compels
Guile with no humility
To stumble down the path to Hell

Cruelty or peace
Glory or deceit
Promise is a turn of phrase
Damned with faint praise

Dare to be human
Among gods and demons...

Within hearts full of lying
Exhausted bones defying
Life's intent expiring

Onlookers can not cry
Elders don't wonder why
Umbrellas hide the eyes
That crave virtue to imply

Wicked wages are death
Darkness collects its debt
Demons revel in depth
Waiting for one last breath

Storm clouds weeping sin
Lamenting deeds of men
Feels like rain again
For my faithless friend...

No man without sin

Judging me, blaming you
Hypocrites all
Heated vows and furrowed brows
Still… comes the fall
Less than perfect, yes I know
Damned all the same
Blinded eyes and selfish pride
All of us to blame

A timeless melody
Of unbroken wisdom
Words by which we prosper
A mirror for the soul
We are all forgiven
That’s all I have to offer
Pearls before swine
That's all I have to offer...

Tireless tongues yammering guile
Voices all resound
Woman’s vanity and man’s pride
Know no bounds
All that’s spoken by spirits broken
Can’t be unheard
History now holds to account
Every uttered word

A timeless melody
Of unbroken wisdom
Words by which we prosper
A mirror for the soul
We are all forgiven
That’s all I have to offer
Pearls before swine
That's all I have to offer...
Don't misread my inclination for
Kinky predilections
Unnatural obsession requires
Romantic redirection
