in the shadow of lies

A cheater who’s cheated his entire life, Writing thoughts of dawn with a drawknife, A liar who’s lied to countless tied. A cheater who lied to assist suicide. Paid for sin in hope of heaven, Dyed heaven red, drawn a knife to behead sinners thrice. God signed it as manic depression— Beheading a thought doesn't suffice. Heaven turned to depths of hell, Lucifer’s stain gives an ironic smell. The drawknife became Gabriel’s knell, Yet the morning star didn’t fully fell.
