Why is god so cruel? We tried so hard, will it be for naught?

I never left you, I am here, I can give you what you need.

Begone with you! I denied you and cast you out, now tempt me not!

You opened yourself to me when you came to beg and plead.

I came to ask god why he gives then takes, I came for him, not you.

You can no more deny me then the day denies the sun or the night the moon.

Leave me, my wife and child are in peril, there’s nothing I can do.

I can help and save their lives, there will be a price, you must act soon.

I know your price. You shan’t have me, not again, my soul is free.

It’s not your soul I want because I do not want what I already own.

Leave me, tempter! I came for peace but you still you torment me.

Act now, lest you wait too long and have to live your life alone.

Why does god ignore me? I cry out in pain but it’s just your voice I hear.

That’s the point, I am here and god is not, I can save their lives if you obey.

Why has god forsaken me? I must save them. The end draws near.

I embrace you and forgive you but still there is a price to pay.

I cannot lose them, they are all I have. Lacking god, I trust you.

The one with whom you share a ward has three kids and can have more.

No, that cannot be the price, choose another, this I cannot do.

Life for a life. I must have the life that cries beyond that door.

You evil fiend, how can you ask for this, to take a newborn’s life?

Is it fair, that they have three and god denies you even one?

They are not at fault, choose another price to save my son and wife.

Act quickly or else quite soon, you shall mourn your wife and son.

God damn me I will do it, in turn you must fulfill your part.

Worry not for unlike god I am there and have never lied.

Dearest child, newly born, go to god. I stab your heart.

You did well, your aim was true, it’s soul is mine, the child died.

What have I done? You have to save them, do it now.

You saved two lives, but took one. Listen now, a birthing cry.

A miracle they say, their lives are saved, they don’t know how.

This is a lesson, you are mine and and cannot flee, do not try.

Newborn son, exhausted wife, I hope you never know and soon forget.

Everyone shall know and justice will be done, your life is over.

The world has judged me and sent me to hell, but I do not regret.

Death shall not free you from your prison, for your soul is mine forever.
