Approach

The Ballad of the Spinning Wheel. Part 2 Approach

If God could stand before me 
and answer to the deepest thought
Would he tell me that he loves me 
in this pitiable state
If a mother could not love me 
or a father hate my guts
Why on earth did God allow it
making me this dreadful curse

Never could a saviour save, 
and draw the curse from my black soul
How could goodness ever step so low 
when seeing me this way
There is no way back from the edge 
of the widening chasm deep
Of blackness dark and sinister 
that will swallow my life’s breath

Anger is my bread and fear my drink 
my cup full to the brim
Is it daylight that I see approach 
or simply clouds of sin.
If ever there a tortured soul, 
I am the living proof 
That evil reigns supreme on earth 
and I am just but dust.
