🎵 Purgatory // by Michael Guy Bowman

1 ContributorPurgatory Lyrics Oh Muses guide me, please provide me with your hallowed song I've been to Hell and back, I'm losing track of the road I'm on Help my recounting of this mountain rising in the dawn I've been traipsing every terrace up in Purgatory Crowded by sinner's souls stripped of every dignity Carrying the weight of what I've done and all the worst of me I'm taking the long road I'm starting the fire Next time that you see me I'll be higher I see the pride, I see the envy and the anger now I see the ones who wait, the ones who take, or just ate out I see the lovers without love are not without a doubt The days are long, we walk in circles while the sun is high We look for answers if there's chance for us in Paradise Heaven knows I will climb unto the stars to make things right Oh man, it's easy from the outside looking in The stairs are not so tall for those who can begin Oh, but I've been looking so far out of frame I focus now upon my feet upon the path I make the distance, let the step stones do the math I know the next half of life won't be the same I'm not searching for a sliver of a silver lining I am taking what is left that I can say is mine And if the road I'm on is long and winding Well, you know, it's fine I'll be drinking from the river at the end of this And know that when I look into the eyes of Beatrice I will be purified of all that I no longer miss
