Voluptuary - Libitina

Morals gone the same way as innocence

Corruption takes root in untilled soil

Limbo from afar never seemed so cold

Still you have an unknowing, strangling hold

A weight crushing upon me

Sisyphean the toil

It suffocates all hope and thought of redemption

One path taken

While the other is lost

I live, mocked by the one untrod

It poisons me slowly, pervading all

Regrets course through me

They threaten to kill

The journey takes me

This Rubicon crossed

Closer to heaven

Yet further from God

Voluptuary

No turning back

Voluptuary

My choice is made

I’ve endured the rack, felt it pull me apart

My God, how did this ever start?

Suffered stark terrors

The long, dark night of the soul

Thrice the cock crowed

I’ve tried to fill the hole

Yet no prick of conscience penetrates

To save me from this fall from heavenly grace

One path taken

While the other is lost

I live, mocked by the one untrod

It poisons me slowly, pervading all

Regrets course through me

They threaten to kill

The journey takes me

This Rubicon crossed

Closer to heaven

Yet further from God

Voluptuary

No turning back

Voluptuary

My choice is made

Consumed by passion

I must give in to sin

So help me I used to have an untainted soul

This passion has wormed its way beneath my skin

These ravenous doubts are devouring me whole

If the road to hell is paved with good intentions

Then I cannot tell where it is I am going
