A voice from the Dark. Speaks

  

(A lone voice whispers)

There's s an island  
You'll soon all see

Depending how old you are  
Or really feel

A mythical land by the Divided Sea

Called  
Purgato

A place many are branded to go

To be if transformed  
Reborn

In a new angelic form  


What will you take though

To hang around your neck  
Like a golden yoke  


Broken oaths of love

Jokes and painful stories

All of your lifes many now unwanted mistakes

People you tried to love  
Some you still hate

It doesn't matter

We know and have seen all kinds

Film stars  
Pop stars  
World conquerors and all kind of leaders  


Seen so many like us  
Who once carefree

Entered these black gates

To eventually feel broke

Never to leave us  


For at the point of salvation  
They choked

But know this

Fate is a fickle friend

For what you do today  
As you still live

With so much more to give

Could help you at your end

Be kind  
Do more  
Show emotion and some compassion

For we await

The hordes

To welcome you through these great gates

So what does that hidden side of your heart really sing of

Because that's what you'll bring

When your version of God demands

You need to purge all your old mortal sins

To earn their love
