Nature of My Ways
Falling from Grace: Benjamin Folke Thomas Unveils the Nature of My Ways
Lyrics
Once i could fly
Once I had the ability to soar or experience freedom.
i can still hear the echo of my wings
I can still recall the sound or memory of my freedom.
High up from the cold damp ground
Elevated far above the chilly and moist earth.
Almost one with the diamond coated ceiling
Almost becoming one with a high, luxurious, and metaphorically diamond-coated ceiling.
Flirting with the angels in an inconspicuous disguise
Engaging with angels discreetly while in disguise.
Singing songs of bygone troubles with Jehovah
Singing songs about past troubles with Jehovah (God).
But the nature of my ways had me fall down from grace
My actions and behavior caused me to lose favor with God, leading to a fall from grace.
And that bright starry future was abandoned
The promising and bright future associated with heavenly bodies was abandoned.
I used to sing so sweet
I used to sing in a charming and pleasant manner.
All the ravens in my country were gathered on my street
All the ravens in my country were gathered, possibly as a metaphor for attention or recognition.
They shed their tears for me
Ravens shed tears for me, indicating a sense of sympathy or mourning.
When they begged me for more i gave the generosity
When they asked for more, I generously provided.
I could look at a leaf whip up a masterpiece
I had a keen ability to find beauty or create masterpieces effortlessly.
Blow people away on a whim
Capable of impressing and captivating people effortlessly.
But the nature of my ways had me fall down from grace
Despite my talents, my behavior led to a fall from grace.
Those golden notes are but a memory
The once-golden musical notes are now just a distant memory.
I was a diplomat
I held a diplomatic role, mediating between God and rebels.
Negotiating peace between god and the rebels
I betrayed the trust by betraying those rebels.
But i stabbed them in the back
I couldn't resist making a pact or deal with the devil.
I could not reject that deal with the devil
My actions were driven by a tempting offer and an inability to reject mutual respect from the devil.
I could not neglect that offer of mutual respect
I couldn't ignore the allure of fame associated with the devil's offer.
To bask in the glory of his fame
To revel in the glory, I made a choice that led to a fall from grace.
The nature of my ways had me fall down from grace
The consequences of my actions continued to affect me.
I’m still falling hope ill land on my feet
I am still experiencing the repercussions, hoping for a graceful resolution.
