Lambs - Poema Arcanus

The Shepherd guides his flock

Through a holy path marked with blood

Driving them to a carnage yet unknown

Procession marches to the cliff

A cliff bathed by souls

One by one lambs fall into the void

An old lie teaching for centuries

Sustaining a perpetual profit of souls

Loved unconditionally until their death

Then after death, God devours his sons

Repeating the word of the lord

Blessed lambs on their way to heaven

Then they realize salvation turns into free fall

All their beliefs

Vanish as they fall

Everything turns into cold horror

A sea of the dead, known as heaven

Ruled by a beast called Father

As souls are drowned into the depths

A morbid grin is drawn on his face

For a lifetime

I was fooled into his good will

Now I’m falling

Without his fake mercy

As I’m drowning, water dissolves faith

All the answers turn into childhood fears

And I realize nobody ever supported my way

I’m astray, forgotten in this ocean…

Of misery and death

I wasted life, to feed the father’s vicious hunger

He never wanted

To welcome us in his reign

Used us to procreate

And nourish the make-believe fiend
