Dismissed the rocky road and went along
Alone, self-assured in my own strong will;
Pride, veiling sight and sound: obstinacy,
The beastly demons that I walked among,
Confirmed and enflamed my bitter hate until,
My Lover’s face I could no longer see.
Apostate, all around, I lived in hell,
Denied Christ was God, that the Cross did kill;
I was the king so bow down and serve me!
The gutter I licked and lapped, couldn’t tell
How far I’d fallen: look at me! I’m free!
