Chaotic Reflections

"I've heard the Lord giveth
and I have seen him take away.
"But in the end, the very end,
a man destroys the days.

"Have you ever asked your priest
or the gods that you worship
how to avoid Hell and the devil's grasp?
"Would your holy master give you answers
or do you even know?
"I have watched this earth sink low
for many, many years.
"I have seen the most destruction ever to exist.

"And I have watched worlds
end, time and time again.
"Dare you have the audacity
to ask how this begins
"When it is you who loved the promise
the end itself should give?

"You could not see enough
visions of prophecy to be satisfied.
"And now that the end is here
you turn to me and cry.

"The secret to avoiding Hell is found in my Reflection.
"See the truth for what it is and
"Stop the fuc*ing questions.

"How horrible is the end?
"Don't you know the end is all you've wanted to see?
"It is what you have wished for.
"How long before the apocalypse?
"Satan is already at the door
"And I knelt beside you inside the church
"Where you claimed to serve the Lord.

"How long does it take for
God's creation to be destroyed?
"Not long enough,
foolish boy.
"It should take an eternity,
but I have seen mankind reverse
creation in record time.

"And on Sunday the Lord rested
for He gave you the greatest gift.
"He gave you life and then
He promised you bliss.

"Yet, on Sunday
you
destroyed all things that He made.

"You wanted to see the end.
"Tell me, is it everything you hoped for?
"I did not create the end,
I only bore witness as it began.

"I simply whispered the truth I knew
in hopes that you would see.

"The chaos that brought the end
still surrounds me.

"The fires of hell consume my flesh
but it doesn't sting as much
"As the fact that the beast
is born of human touch.

"Go on and live your life
I will not interfere.
"Go about your way
and I will sit.

"But I won't pray.

"Not for you, Jimmy.

"You see,
the end has
come and gone.

"This is simply hell's reflection."
