Intro

Dear God, I know you're there, please here my prayer

I got a lot on my plate, that I'd like to share

I don't know where I'm going, but I know where I've been

Some see an unblemished soul, but You know that I've sinned

Some see a big smile, but You know the monster within

Some see a bright kid, but You know the mistakes I'll make again

Some see love and compasion, but You know the hate that I keep

Some see hope and understanding, but You know the dark where I weep

Some see eyes so light with life, but You know the scars I hide

Some see a dominating force, but You know the tears I cried

I share these things forever now, to those who'd lend their ear

The life behind the Zealous1, the fog will now be clear

And to my children, still unborn, who've yet to cry or laugh

I leave behind my stories to you, The Living Epitaph.

AMEN.
