Saint Sinner


Born innocent, this is how it all starts,
There is no good or evil, no right or wrong
There is one thing, something pure

With the best of intentions
Goodness at heart
Following all the rules
Turning the other cheek
Ever forgiving
Willing to bent over backwards
Give the shirt off my back
Putting others before me
Ever trusting the church
I was a saint


As time passes, this changes
Until a moment like now, when I wonder how I got here
How I got to this place,

I am darkness
I am pain
I am suffering
I am cold hearted
I am cruel
I am judgment
I am in my own personal hell

The descending darkness on my soul eats away at me
I’m falling faster and the further down I go, the more darkness will show
The goodness that was once there begins to go
As time moves on the colder I grow
Emotion begins not to show
And blood begins no to flow

Like ice in my veins its freezes
The cold radiates fro me like chilling breezes

This however affects more than just me
It affects all those who need me
See you all now will be shit out of luck
Because I’m getting to the point where I just dot give a fuck

I don’t fear the burden that I bear
But more so the fact that I lack the strength to care

And now I take my seat on the throne of ice
For the spite and vengeance in my burns with a fire
And I dance with the devil tonight
Because now knows my new found burning desire
I am now a sinner

I was once a saint
But I am now a sinner
I have become this through the darkness of life
But through all of this how could it be
That still there is some form of light
And on the darkest of days it still shines bright

Within me still lies
The eternal fight
Between darkness and light
Every church I pass
Every saintful sight
Every act of kindness

My Lord, My Salvation, My Symbol, My Cross
Not a second skips
Nor minute passes
Or hours has gone
Not a day goes by
Nor weeks be done
Or months move on
Without a cross around my neck
It is my show of respect
And it forever I must protect

I must have been pure enough to wear for all of these years
Every minute that I fought through those tears
Every single fear
He held me
Showed me the way
Goodness guided me
This world is a curel place
Perhaps I’m on of the few strong who is strong enough to deal with it.

The devil knows my desire
He wants me to reap from the fruits of his labor
But he is not my savior
I cannot dine with the devil, only dance with him
I will not willingly give up my soul
As dark as it may be its mine
Its gods gift to me an worth fighting for

I will dance with the devil
Because I am darkness
And it will never go

But I will dine in the light
Because I am cross
And it always shows

I am the keeper of the gate
I am its guardian
I am an archangel
I am a fallen
I am a Saint Sinner
