Eyes Wide Shut

by Rusheena   Jul 10, 2010


Until today, I've been sitting in a dungeon full of dead bodies
I've watched them laugh, cry, and rejoice in their filth
I sat by and joined in on there "positive" hobbies
Meanwhile, I covered my ears to the blasphemy and lack of guilt

I've swam in the lukewarm waters of denial with content
Attempting to find perfection in my pride without Consent
Pretending to care but only about my reputation
Believing that I was recovering when I put no effort in participation

Compromising with corpses and bogus sermons with an open mind
But never once did I open my eyes until I desired the pleasure of my kind
If the rapture came today, I would drown in the lake of fire
I would be spewed out of His mouth because I've been a liar
I've been lying about everything from lifestyle to deeds
Especially to myself, as I neglected my needs

I am now malnourished and underfed
And even in the brightest light, I could pass for dead
I've allowed my dreams to devour my reality
Unless I consult imagination, I am forbidden to be happy

Even though it's been months, it seems like joy's escaped me centuries ago
But I've used my Christian disguise so that no one would know
My value decreased when I chose to associate with death
I was genuine for a time; now, I take my last breath

Until today, my name was blotted out of God's list
And believe me when I say, that He does exist
Today, He admitted me into intensive care
He rescued me from the streets of temptation,
Though I remained unaware

For the first time in ages, I've been truly sincere
No more idle words without works; no more propping up sinners for false cheer
Today is my checkpoint to Heaven, and nothing will stand between Us anymore
I will lose family, friends, and favor, but I gain an entrance through The Door

No matter what He asks of me, I will no longer cower and procrastinate
No matter how dangerous the mission may be, I will accept my fate

Today, I break the devil's chains and become a witness to his destruction
His blindfold will be lifted from few
I will no longer cooperate with corruption
Because today, He has made me new

So, Satan, beware of my light
It will burn the evil out of their souls
Demons, be prepared to fight
In the end, you will pay your tolls
