Just Another Fool

I've been waiting for signs of God

Is this world where isolation bears hope

Can I survive His smiting rod

In light that I am of true evil?

 

Fearing not the man for he does not exist

I am oh-so stubborn in this quest

If you say yes, then I will say no;

Condemned but so unlike the rest.

 

Ashes to ashes, but dust won't be dust

If you go there then I will go back

This belief so old though it bears no rust

I am determined to find my resolute.

 

Shall I say I was wrong if I were right?

Will I be smote and burned in the light?

I think not, instead I will lay in the night

My eyes eaten out by the worms.

 

But if I am wrong and I do find a Christ

Have no mercy on me, for I am malign.

Though I quested long this man to find

In the end I cannot say I did not expect to die.
