The Tragedy of Humanity

Souls run blind through sacred lies,
Falsehoods of the angels' conception.
We are slaves of Heaven weeping unholy tears.
Clinging to holy deception.

Chained to this treacherous shrine
We are the tragedy of humanity
Wasting away in false worship.

Thorns surround each precious soul,
Locking us in stagnation.
Held in thrall to empty altars,
Denied our own regeneration.

We are all insects
In the eyes of Heaven.
Broken and crawling
Towards a darkness we have mistaken
For light.
