Apostate

 

Dismissed the rocky road and went along

Alone, self-assured in my own strong will;

Pride, veiling sight and sound: obstinacy, 

The beastly demons that I walked among,

Confirmed and enflamed my bitter hate until,

My Lover’s face I could no longer see.


Apostate, all around, I lived in hell,

Denied Christ was God, that the Cross did kill;

I was the king so bow down and serve me!

The gutter I licked and lapped, couldn’t tell

How far I’d fallen: look at me! I’m free!
