Free Falling
Bowing to the father of lies
In barren fields among the dead
No matter the mask or disguise
He’s living rent free in your head
Drowning beneath the tide
Shadows speak in mystic tongues
Lost within madness you confide
Evil spirts filling up cursed lungs
Fading further from the light
All hope was abandoned for power
Wisdom blinded by lack of sight
Forbidden love slowly starts to sour
Until judgement one day comes calling
And from the kingdom forever free falling
In barren fields among the dead
No matter the mask or disguise
He’s living rent free in your head
Drowning beneath the tide
Shadows speak in mystic tongues
Lost within madness you confide
Evil spirts filling up cursed lungs
Fading further from the light
All hope was abandoned for power
Wisdom blinded by lack of sight
Forbidden love slowly starts to sour
Until judgement one day comes calling
And from the kingdom forever free falling

Late night musing. I've been listening to Black Sabbath since writing the latest Backstage episode, which is now on YouTube by the way. The link is on the shows speakeasy page. Anyways this write was inspired by the band. Appreciate you.

I recall my younger days being transfixed in Sabbath and those deep resonant chords Iommi played.
Your poem is just as resonant in darkness and the mind that's been overtaken by the father of lies.
The picture's setting adds to its morbid atmosphere.
Great specificity of words and rhymes.

This reminded me of the biblical verse from Psalms 37:7: Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
