The cup has been taken into the shadows
By cold and wrathful hands of the sick
They cut their wrists with their infectious rusty daggers
To fill the cup with their black leper’s blood

So as they fill the Cup of Life with death
A rainfall of loss and wandering descends
Changing every person on this God’s green Earth somewhat gray
Readying their souls for the opening of Hell

But the only Hell that’s destined for birth and reentry
Lies within the doors of their reality and mind
To influence what is meant to be and what isn’t
And to blur what is good and bad

Eventually boredom breeds greed
As greediness fuels empty thoughts
To, in turn, cut off very human acts and emotions of good
And turn the wheels of fire and lust

So reflections of the heart’s feelings seethe
Both light and dark within the black void of sorrowful joy
So we humans can mingle and indulge in normality
And keep the balance of good and evil far from awry

Behold the very world we live in today
The world God has let be
With the same old scenarios and rain
You know it’s nothing strange

Love is only an excuse to hurt and to get hurt... Knowledge brings ye fear.

A river of change is rushing over me, through me. Forfeit to the waters, forget the past, live in the present.
