In pools of emerald colored Iris
with black center of light
The soul peeks through the opened glass
hidden from searching eyes

Try as it might ...
To find the essence of ones being
Seeking truth on the outter walls
finding what one has been missing

Lids shutter to a close
concealled in utter darkness
Forbidden truth under lies
dwell beneath bone and flesh
Crying out for remission

A trial of enitiy battles for mentality
A war of intelligence against unfathomable sensibility

The first witness of to this affliction
bursts forth from it's constriction
Testifies to ones own past
cries of pain, bleeding flesh
begs for sudden mercy

Denied!! Crashed the gaveling whack
echoing throughout the chamber
Falling back into the black
watching it's soul burn amber
Weeps from within the center for forgiveness

Another door opens
the testimony begins
confessing the greater sins
Shards of bleeding glass
penitrate the breathing soul
Pleading for that second chance

Denied!! Crashed the gaveling whack
echoing throughout the chamber
Tears from within the shaddered truth
rain onto the ground

'Tis hopeless chained onto the court
escape cannot be found
into the past seeps
searching for the reason
Of why this soul did turn away
and chose a life of treason
