The Apostle of Sin. Seeking freedom.

Title: 

The Apostle of Sin. Seeking freedom.


 (A lone voice whispers)





Watching the old world through my rust 


Encrusted Scrying 

Mirror 


My blood 

If I had any 


Would be green with envy 


For when I see couples happy 

A baptism of souls meeting


The lividity in me burns 

So slow 


Like an inquisitor's cruel act of Abacination 


Surrounding me within a lone cloud

From the Darkness of Hell itself 


And with a long night of

Squeals of demonic delights 


Ahead


A legion of guttural voices singing out like Beniamino Gigli


Under meager skies 

Chanting dark spells 


I now know this place 

I'm in 


Resembles Hell 


A heavy breathing consciousness 

Where the heartbroken live within 


Especially us 

Baptized to greave 


Through acts of Self-immolation 


Caused by the dark temptations of sin


Destruction

in which there is no love 

Left 


But only green envy


The price I now pay in Purgatory 

Now I've gained entry


As my eyes remain open 

With my soul praying to break free 


Now just cursed 


To just pray 

With frenzy


She doesn't forget me 

But remember 


No one alive is pure 

For we are born 


To be corrupted by love 


For no one is one hundred percent 

An Innocenti 


For even you 


Beyond the sacred shores 

Of The Ferryman of Hades 

River


You'll sin too


It's not an accusation but a confession 


And it's why I speak 

Hoping to gain resurrection
