Die to Live
sometimes I feel
as under heel
the lie is real
no even keel
oncoming tide
a heart ideal
turned hardened steel
duplicitous zeal
found its appeal
cyanide
for time's anneal
must come ordeal
the grinding wheel
veneer to peel
suicide
inside's the deal
we'll have to seal
no more conceal
thy heart reveal
nowhere to hide
a wound to heal
past debt repeal
and peace to feel
sincere? then kneel
where once you lied
from Divine creel
now as puerile
the promise real
come bless-ed meal
sanctified
as under heel
the lie is real
no even keel
oncoming tide
a heart ideal
turned hardened steel
duplicitous zeal
found its appeal
cyanide
for time's anneal
must come ordeal
the grinding wheel
veneer to peel
suicide
inside's the deal
we'll have to seal
no more conceal
thy heart reveal
nowhere to hide
a wound to heal
past debt repeal
and peace to feel
sincere? then kneel
where once you lied
from Divine creel
now as puerile
the promise real
come bless-ed meal
sanctified
