Erebus to Hades
On a voyage into your soul
Plagued with insecurities
Doubts cloud your vision
Fear strangles your heart
Danger dances along with your
Every step
Narrow is the passage from
Life to death
Crossing the threshold of poverty
Into the opening arms of despair
On a voyage into your soul
Laid open are the wounds of
Oppression, stripped away is
Dignity and your tears are
Bitter as acid rain
The voyage into your soul
Holds no secrets only truths
To be told there is no
Place for lies or deceit
You can't hide from yourself
Voyage into your soul
Where self-incrimination and guilt lie dormant
Waiting for self revelation or resurrection
No longer is denial thwarted
Welcome is acceptance to the
Voyage into your soul
