Path Of Destruction

 

Before the path lay straight

Narrow, unending

A simple twist of fate

Turn sallow, pretending

 

God’s design, wicked every which way

Hard to find truth every blood soaked day

No reason for will, cloud the mind away

Sooner or later, for your sins you will pay

 

Take it from me as I walk down the path

Ending in pain as I never look back

I knew in my heart it was wrong the whole time

But now that I’m broken I’ve chosen to find

This world’s full of evil, and so was my mind

But it’s not too late for heaven; it’s never too late for mine

 

I’m on a path of destruction

Ending in pain

Endless confusion

Hiding the shame

No chance for redemption

Lost in the rain

The sour conjunction

Of life’s ruthless game

 

The greed will live on for millions of years

While truth will decay from millions of fears

The kids will know life after millions of tears

And everything we thought was beautiful will disappear

 

Today the path lay straight

Progress in the form of labor

I hurried and now I wait

Another victim of human nature
