Present. If?
Manticora
"Where am I?"
Caught in the afterlife, or in limbo, who can tell?
Save me from the everlasting grief that they call Hell.
Eight internal bleedings, stigmata, one per sin.
I committed all of them, my cleansing can begin.
"Blood pressure weak, broken and torn,
a sinner who was cursed from the day he was born"
Looking at the whitened ceiling through a cloud of blood
Drifting in and out of consciousness in memory flood.
In my search for the light, I travel back in time
for my deadly sins to be uncovered as a holy crime.
"Cellular death, the soul has left his eye.
Nothing to do, nurse, please take him away to die."
What if my mortal remains are all that proved I was here?
What if I didn't leave a mark in peoples' sphere?
What if my deadly sins were my way to make you see?
To make all you nonbelievers believe in me...
