Fall of O Acoustic Folk

Song for WDWD

The Fall of Osiris

Alone in this valley of darkness I’ve strayed

I hear all my demons beginning to bay

Oh lord you know how i begged them to stay

But Left to my vices I pushed you away

When down on my knees I finally did pray

It seems you had nothing left here to say

Abandoned by god

I died on that cross

Alone with my shepherd

Unburdened yet lost

Deny me your wisdom

Deny me them gates

St Peter would scoff

If he saw my damned face

I couldn’t keep clean no I could not stay pure.

These sins aren’t forgiven of that I am sure

Captive to anger a slave to my rage

Imprisoned and tortured alone in my cage

I thought I could move on

I guess I was wrong

With wisdom comes age.

Blue skies are clouded fading to gray

The green grass has all but withered away

I dream of your light I dreamt of that day

Yet all that consumes me is nothing but hate

Wayward this soul denying my fate

I’m broken, I’m shattered, is it too late?

Abandoned by god

I died on that cross

Alone with my shepherd

Unburdened yet lost

Deny me your wisdom

Deny me them gates

St Peter would scoff

If he saw my damned face

I prayed for your mercy, but i have been cursed

I questioned the devil who has it the worst

I wish for a fire to burn everything.

Take away paradise, take away my verses

Leave me in pain alone with these curses

Like Osiris’s fall, just leave me in Dis

Deny me your Eden , Drowning in the abyss, How long do I suffer Until we are even

My demons have come to lead me astray

Forsaken by god, he’s stricken my name

Refused by your shepherd deny me thy rod Absolve me of grace I’d rather be lost

Cover my body with his sacred dirt

Read the good book and say a few words

But leave me to rot in this coffin of sin

Out where the devils welcome me in.

Abandoned by god

I died on that cross

Alone with my shepherd

Unburdened yet lost

Deny me your wisdom

Deny me them gates

St Peter would scoff

If he saw my damned face
