The Garden of Earthly Delights
The garden is full of what people desire.
Everything you could ever need or want
lies in wait there.
You enjoy the paradise,
meanwhile others are burning
in the flaming city of sin.
They’re seething in pain,
while the little creatures delight in
the suffering.
Some are causing the pain, while
others join in.
Still some are spectators of the
agony within.
When fate has decided
according to your deeds and faith,
where you shall go,
remember the visions he had saw
and what lies down below.
If you had faith
and acted upon it,
you do not need to fear.
Only those who had denied it will be cast from the paradise.
