Sin Meter

a poem by Amikar Anand

Smell of death, sound of decay
This spirit of insanity, the sepulcher of humanity
Love thy blood, kill thy pain
Darkness falls like never before
Nothing will ever be the same again
Speaking to the ether/speaking to the souls
Looking for the light/giving in to the night
Make my day my sin meter

Mark my crimes and sell my rhymes
There’s joy for the unforgiven
When my souls at stake
Live a memory when am awake
Trying to listen to myself
Speaking to the ether/speaking to the souls
Looking for the light/giving in to the night
Make my day my sin meter

Ticking on like clockwork, you count my living hours
My secrets you shall lay bare, when my sightless eyes shall stare
Sting my skin, its all am asking
Open my eyes to the truth inside
Tell me what I can and can’t decide
Speaking to the ether/speaking to the souls
Looking for the light/giving in to the night

What would I do without you!
You make my day my sin meter
