Descending the heavens

Descending from the heavens

Forced into this sphere

Forced into this earthly sphere

10 crowns for 7 heads

Symbolic representation: 10 crowns for 7 heads

An angel cast in mirror

An angel cast in a mirror, possibly reflecting inner struggles or self-perception


Leering at each other

Gazing at each other with suspicion or hostility

Await the serpents touch

Anticipating the touch of serpents, suggesting impending danger or betrayal

Seal of god on your forehead

Having the seal of God on the forehead, a symbol of divine protection

Only in death

Understanding true love only in death, perhaps a commentary on the nature of life

Shall you know love

Emphasizing that love is revealed only in the face of mortality


Fire enters the gallows

Fire entering the gallows, a metaphor for destructive forces at play

Prisoners trapped like rats

Prisoners trapped like rats, portraying a sense of entrapment or hopelessness

Somewhere out there watching

Someone observing from a distance, possibly a higher power or an indifferent force

Your savior starts to laugh

The savior finding amusement or irony in the situation


Nailed inside your coffin

Nailed inside a coffin, symbolizing confinement or restriction

Descending the abyss

Descending into the abyss, a descent into darkness or despair

Nails intrude the deep

Nails intruding the deep, a vivid image of pain or suffering

As splinters shred your wrists

Splinters shredding wrists, a visceral depiction of agony and torment


Sudden outcry of pleasure

An abrupt expression of pleasure, possibly ironic or contrasting with the surrounding despair

All is forgiven

All is forgiven, suggesting redemption or absolution

Somewhere in hell

In hell, something has risen, indicating a transformative or unexpected event

As has risen

Unclear context, possibly referencing a change or emergence


Don't leave me

An appeal not to be left alone in a cold, desolate place

Out here in this cold

Fingers numb in the cold, a physical manifestation of hardship or struggle

My fingers numb

The world collapsing or overwhelming the speaker

As the world caves in on me

A plea as the world seems to be falling apart


Cracks of the sidewalk

Cracks in the sidewalk, a metaphor for the fragility of existence or societal cracks

Dreams of the homeless

Dreams of the homeless, suggesting aspirations and struggles of the marginalized

I push on religiously

A determined push forward despite challenges, possibly driven by religious beliefs
