Heavenly Hypocrisy

To deny someone love is a cruel thing
But in a selfish quest for eternal salvation
Fragile souls have to keep their morals straight
To avoid the wrath of a loving god

So with heavenly hypocrisy
They carve hearts out of chests
And leave them to decay
On the beaches of mortal sin

Beaches where the sand is stained red
And crimson colored waves gently kiss the shore
Where vultures pick at the remains of shattered romance
And the sour fragrance of broken dreams fills the air

Far away-
From shattered romance and broken dreams
Fragile souls bathe in heaven’s radiance
Where they drink fine wine, and dance the night away

Far away-
From the pain and suffering caused by discrimination
Fragile souls listen to a self – righteous man
As he makes a toast, to equality
