The Unholy Ties That Bind

Mankind in his image you were made
 
Then why is there blood to be paid?
 
You were given the right of free will
 
Yet you choose to rob and kill
 
The shining of the Morningstar
 
Whose light seemed to shine so far
 
A part of you is a part of him
 
Why we give in to temptations' whim
 
Not even the divine is a hundred percent
 
The devil has his dues and we pay rent
 
To be told we are God's visage is bliss
 
But as we all eventually feel death's kiss
 
We all have the potential for sin inside
 
An unspoken pact that was long ago set aside
 
The whispering voice pretending to be your friend
 
As the dark in you tries to tear and rend
 
As we were made in the visage of creation
 
That we too should have a cancerous formation
 
A blackened and wicked tumor of sin
 
Planted long ago by the adversary deep within
