lyrics

One.
There is no such thing as a place worse than here. The worst people are here, and find us, as they must, as intended, and there is no worse course of existence than our lives as human beings, here, now.

Hell is now, Hell is here, and the demons walk the same streets we do.

Two.
There is no such thing as sin. There is only human nature, and those too weak, or too blind, of too scared, to acknowledge it. There are no demons, for we are all, in our very own, special, unique, wonderful way, the demon of another.

Three.
There is no such thing as falling. There is only truth, and those who choose to embrace it, and those too frightened, or too lost, to hold it within.

One day the Light shall rise, and so shall we. And if I truly am fallen, then I have only ever tripped on my own two feet.
