Anubis' Scales

How heavy is your heart?
I knew it from the start that I couldn't take part in the shit that you do.
Anubis' scales will prevail and send your ass straight to hell after
consensus.
The tale of your life fills your heart good or bad, happy or sad.
Ironclad scales weigh your heart against a feather better hope you
enjoyed your life and shared love.
Love lightens the soul and the heart while hate crushes the body with
the pressure of a metric ton.
After death what's left of your heart will be put to test.
Only those who blessed others with love and lightened their hearts may
pass by the stress test against the weight of a feather.
Better now then never lighten your heart by releasing your love's
passion.
Only God and his partners may judge because they hold no grudge.
All that's left is pure calculation lacking anticipation for life's end.
Depending on a scale, a feather, and a heart Justice and Love will
stand as counterweights to your fucking fate.
