Recounting all the ways
Time was spent
Trying to gain...
Lives!
Disposal of trivial peril
Sharpened skills, better yield
It's sink or swim
Religious vigor guides your way
An endless well, a deep embrace
Context is god
Virtue is worth the work ethic
Do you believe the words of man?
Do you believe in your god's plan?
Birth. Prayer. Procreate.
Haunted by a ghost delayed
The faintest noise, the most depraved
Calamity's hammer swings
Stakes are high, burden of spring
No choice but to exist
The choice to persist
Let me address something, lend you some insight
God helps those who help themselves seek delight in the plight
Bogged down in the angst of this world
Man-made, force fed to no end
Conditional are the fruits of his love like a petty human
Crucified and born again
Faith balanced in the strife
You sought heaven through the trees!
You thought you mastered this life
