All four chambers beat to the drum of life with unison and harmony on and on it fights Every breath is utopia every moment unrepressed dancing lightly to a melody unaware of the narrow edge Faithfully accepting never stopping to ask why blindly walking down the path head somewhere in the sky Skipping arm in arm with destiny conferring with the birds praying oh so dutifully Never wondering if they're heard He asks and so you give You are but his lamb He says he will provide All you must do is take his hand And put your life on trial almost everything's a sin He promises you heaven Promises everlasting life within You must accept his word He is the universal law You must seek contrition If you ever should fall Oh father I have sinned An impure thought had I Go in peace my child Hail Marys, you must say five Bow down and ask forgiveness From this man that teaches my ways To reach me you must pass through him There is no other way But Lord you said you are within I am but your child You are my true father You are by my side So why does my entry to heaven Depend on the man in that chair He is but a mortal How can he get me there? You tell me I was sinful at the time of my birth That my sins must be washed away If I am to return to the dirt You tell us Mary was your mother But you won't give her your dues Goddess she will never be even though she gave birth to you You say that Satan is at work He's everywhere to see Feminism is his most deadly yet Unravelling the moarl fibre of society But you said we are all born equal unto the eyes of the Lord Have you decided that you were wrong Gone back on your word I wish that I could follow you But i can't accept your way as truth The goodness in my heart ; to you just isn't enough proof So I'll take my chances forsaking Heaven and Hell and live my Pagan life my way Reborn into another life to tell Four chambers beating To lifes non-relenting drum Lungs still breathing Time yet to be done No longer living blindly Now seeking out the truth No more contradictions No more providing proof Living life my way Till death beckons me Like a drop of water When I return to the sea....
Reason for writing:
i do not mean any offense to those of you with Christian beliefs and faiths. this was inspired by a religious debate, (friendly at that) with a close personal friend.
I was born into the Catholic faith, I have many friends and relatives who stand by their beliefs, I just don't share them.
Birth sign: Scorpio
