The grim reapers feature seemed to be branded on my concious, placing me on my knees
I succumbed to the fear that engulfled my soul to beleive in an untimly destiny
His robes woven of those souls who were convicted to cold murder
Seemed to screaming in high pitched cadences that I's suffer
The hammer edict already seemed covered with the blood of my criminal minded brothers
I shuddered at the thought, but it was enought to dip my mentality in darkness
Slowly covering my eyes, until I saw a light, was my soul already departed
But then I felt the rusted chains cling my conciousness down to life, couldn't die with a lie
Then the truth made its self a blade, with honesty lacing it's side
Its glow contrasted the dirt and grime that collected in the essence of my mind
Fear dripping with my blood, encased the sword, burdened me again with my crime
I dragged my chains across the dirt ridden plains as my groans echoed through the cave
With my hope and trust I grabbed the sword, I was free, no more fear's slave
Once again I was back into clarity, again faced with reality, hanging from the thread of life
So with no remorse, I looked into death eyes and my souls cried "Why?"

Why did I commit such a sin where my God stated against its principles
But its hard to control yourself when devils become your souls principals
The streets were my playground but when I met them my childhood severed
Their clothes dripped of sins and thats when I was smothered in their errors
But my mind was naive, so I thought the consequence wouldnt adhive to me
But it was sill for me to believe in that manner, as the crimes severity increased
Soon I thought I was god, I could make rivers of blood run the streets
How many lives were eaten and spit back out from our mouths, left a foul order
Anything we touhed seemed to decay, turned sane minds on the path of disorder
I became a devil as well, with my sins dripping behind me, a trail of misery
It seemed as if my shadow was commiting crimes of greater severity
But in a blur of Red and white, soaked in defeat with the tinge of cold pavement
Now I stand here as a man and not Satan, with simple steel snakes making my enslavement

The chains were cut and fell and thundered through my mind and the courtroom
I placed the sword down and inched toward the lights beautiful bloom
Im freed from this slavery, now god Im ready for salvation from life
The hammer resounded a verdict, completed the circuit, covered my soul in light
