Rat Trap

By AnarKoRn

I'm caught in a rat trap
If I keep the death it will consume me
To repent is to be ridiculed
They will know, and I will die
Disfellowship, excommunication
I'll then be devoid of the only thing
That could give me life once more

What would you recommend, brother?
Flee from evil and destroy the curse
I must live in humility and sacred verse
End now my sorrow and live in tranquility

What would you recommend, brother?
Shall I give into evil temptation?
And fertilize the dark seeds growth
Now festers inside of my being
If it is planted surely I will perish

    We know when things feel right, but what if society's view of acceptted behavior feels wrong? Or they tell you you're wrong...
