All Debts Shall Be Repaid

The jaws of life close around his heart
Piercing the flesh in the name of art
The blood spills and stains the ground
Yet he endures the pain without a sound

Falling down onto his knees
The only word he spoke was please
No mercy was shown to the thief of fire
An eternity sentenced in which he shall mire

Play with fire and you will get burned
Lest ye not forget what is give is returned
In this world we live one thing is true
Be careful my friend of what comes back on you

Nothing we take is ever free
A solemn truth this will always be
For no matter how long the creditor shall bay
Thy debts incurred you will have to repay

Here in these lines of rhyme
A message so hidden will clear in time
I am not a creditor I do not loan
But I have sat aside heaven's throne

I entrust my soul to a higher power
One present in my light and darkest hour
By his hand all will be made right
In the glory of the day and the dead of night
