The Animal Locked in a Box

Soaring elation
Riding constellation
Envision, premeditation
Loyalty's devastation

Enter sin, a hollow home
Anger festers, hellish gestures
The hourglass runs low
And the heartbeat begins to slow

The calling desire
Takes me so much higher
This heart burns, like fire
Hell's greatest defier

The animal cries out
Bursting from inside
The outcast comes to speak
The truth spoken, over the lie

Darkness in motion
Filed feelings aside
Locked in a box
For all eternity

The sins of the flesh
Reach past and detest
The wicked pass judgment
Irrelevant and high strung

Harsh is the hypocrisy
Land of fatal economy
Hell's fire for sodomy
Repent and endure

The calling desire
Takes me so much higher
This heart burns, like fire
Hell's greatest defier

The animal cries out
Bursting from inside
The outcast comes to speak
The truth spoken over the lie

Darkness in motion
Filed feelings aside
Locked in a box
For all eternity
