Long time ago, but still in this age
|
There was a man, seeking the answers
|
For the questions of life
|
An angel, so beautiful arrived
|
By his side and let his voice be heard:
|
"I'll give you what you seek for
|
But you will have to give your soul."
|
Remember you have nothing to lose
|
Look forward to what you will be given
|
The angel seemed so good and honest
|
The man decided to pay the price
|
As his soul lay in the angel's hand
|
The angel gave him the keys
|
To the treasure halls and said:
|
"Always remember,
|
The truth is everywhere in these halls.
|
Enter without fear..."
|
|
The man opened the first gate
|
And it was closed behind him
|
Everywhere were things, that were
|
Showing him the answers
|
Just like he been told
|
Spiritual jewels were
|
Laying on the ground
|
Waiting to be taken by his hands
|
|
This search went on for many years
|
Until he was satisfied
|
With the answers he had been given
|
Suddenly he noticed something so strange
|
He had been walking inside
|
These halls for many years
|
But not found a way out
|
|
Finally he met the angel
|
Walking in one of the halls
|
The man ran and asked him for help
|
But the angel showed him the soul
|
And told the man:
|
"Remember what you gave me?
|
I have given you what you asked for
|
But there are no way out
|
From these treasure halls
|
You will end your days here
|
In my kingdom"
|
|
Things were no longer crystal clear
|
And suddenly the eyes of beauty turned evil
|
The betrayer had seemed so white and clean
|
But the black soul he wore within
|
Had hidden been until now...
|
|
The man was betrayed
|
Now nothing but pain remained
|
He could feel his body and spirit break down
|
The angel enjoyed what was seen before his eyes
|
Because the promise he once gave
|
Was nothing but lies
|
Playing with fire had its price to pay
|
The man had payed with his soul
|
To this ancient lair
|
What good had he been given instead?
|
If he now died he would never
|
Be able to see daylight again
|
The picture of life in divine magnificence
|
Would forever be gone
|
|
The man fell down
|
On his knees and cried
|
The angel showed no mercy
|
And told him there was nothing to do
|
His life could now never be changed
|
He had received the lie as a truth
|
And that trust could never be recalled
|
|
Suddenly he felt a voice internally saying:
|
"This is not the end, follow me, I show the way."
|
A dove came flying inside the treasure halls
|
Followed by a lamb that once been slaughtered
|
The angel's face turned pale as he saw them
|
He left the halls at once, frightened to death
|
The lamb took the blackened soul
|
Washed it white and gave it back to the man
|
