Amen


Love and hate are two sides of the same coin -
I choose love over hate, look how much it pays -
and everybody has a story, she says, he says -
and they say, there are two sides to every coin -
but there are seven sides, I say, look wisely -
Roses are surrounded by thorns, I move wisely -
boldly to put good in goodlife, I'm in control -
fuck the system, fuck 'em, I did, I still do -
and yes, God don't like ugly, I'm still cute -
enough to gain the whole world for my own soul -
so I tempt the devil, and souls are lost to me -
I dare your evil, and the powers you pose to be -
Every cloud, every shade, I shine on them all -
Darkside is lit, my means justify ends. I sin? -
Behold my way, my truth, and my life, I win -
Every fear, every doubt, I win through them all' -
but I don't say game over, I just know my Omen -
every end is beginning of new me, I say, Amen -
