Pride



The chuckle when you fall and the laugh when I win.

Nothing, no other, is greater than my sin!

I sin the best! Better than all men.

I cause great men to fall, to buckle, and bend,

Crawl when they could walk, on a different softer path.

But because of me, they'll never see, past,

Their blood spattered gold, their rusted silver rings.

The days of their youth,

surely, they'll forever ring;

In a hall of heroes they never made it into.

They'll boast and they'll sing, about all the great things,

That other men did.

A cowardly sheep dressed in wolf's clothing, Mice among men.

Poor Daniels in a lion's den.

Except they've no God to look to, except for themselves.

I burn the greatest, in the hottest of Hell fires. See how my skin melts and retracts from the burning red spires.

In all things remains this:

the lies, of folly men's pride, that I twist.
