Eternally Yours

Eternally Yours

I've shot innocents
I've intoxicated friends
I've destroyed families
I've started eternal wars
and I've come to understand
that it is up to me
to decide who stays
and who leaves

Dry leaves blew around
an empty grave
marked by a makeshift cross
and engraved on it,
"Eternally Yours"

No lilies, no woman's heart
No tears on the soiled ground,
no families to part

I've triggered disasters
I've distraught many
I am masters of all masters
Nobody can handle me

Soft pure flakes of snow
fall slowly on the pavement
only to be trampled
Crystal clear droplets of rain
shatter instantly on impact
no place for perfection

So forgive me;
if You have the power to
Forgive me although it's too late
if you believe my sins are true
You wouldn't let me through
Your Heaven's gate.

I've gone beyond what's wrong
I've lost myself in my happiness
It was all pure fun, all that\'s listed
wrong in the Book of Rights.
I've gone beyond Hell
That place has no space for me.

Forgive me;
I understand I'll never go
where pure shattered souls rest
or where all sinners burn
I've led them there personally

You've told your angels to
shut the gate
He has told his devils to
close Hell's fiery depths
and I know
there's no place for me to go
for You have accepted my
forgiveness
and I have been forgiven

So I'll remain here forever
As an empty grave
where no flowers adorn
and no tears pass affection
to me; and I'll lie
Under this makeshift cross
Engraved;
"Eternally Yours"

Padre Nostro, che sei nei cieli,
sia santificato il tuo nome,
venga il tuo regno,
sia fatta la tua volontà,
come in cielo cosí in terra.
Dacci oggi il nostro pane quotidiano,
e rimetti a noi i nostri debiti,
come noi li rimettiano ai nostri debitori,
e non c'indurre in tentazione,
ma liberaci dal male.

Amen.
