Narrow I tell you narrow
Singing dancing
Walking through thicket and Barrow
Like lambs to slaughter
Walking talking thick with laughter
A fork in the path
That needs to be trod
Walk en mass
Or on your Todd
The lane or the highway
Path or the byway
Decisions decisions
Which way to flow
Like a stick in stream
Mind fogged with dream
Sleeping I walk
On the way wide
Drawn by the tide
Never to balk
The river rushes onwards
Down faster under brushes
Over rocks she gushes
To sheol she draws us
A stream gentle and slow
Meanders through pastures
Glistening enrapture's
Nourishing to land and soul
Further and further from sheol
The way is wide
A slutty bride
Seductive as a whore
For many a men children she bore
Bastards of sin
Lying cheating and drinking
No time for regret or thinking
Two paths side by side
Yet by a gulf are they devide
in sight they pass into valley yonder
So few stop to wonder
Why the gate so wide and tall
And the crevice so small
The valley wide and deep so brightly lit
I say to thee beware the valley
But he say nay have no fear
For salvation is so near
I tell you I go to green pastures
In the valley of many
He told me so my dear old pastor
We are many, a legion you might say
And ye so alone on your standing stone
Come join us brother for time is near
Winter comes with the a raging lion
Tearing and thrashing
Gnawing and slashing
Tearing friends and foe
Devouring from his velvet throne
Pulling apart babe's on breast
Destroying without pause
In the valley so brightly coloured
Every detail of Satan's rewards
Spread across the pastures
Man woman child
All sleeping
Only the living weeping
In slumber they rest
Before the test
That fork in the road
What did it mean
Wide way or narrow
For easy way my eyes do gleam
To be human is to be weak
The sins of life beckon
Strong humble and meek
Is the narrow path
The way to life eternal
fear not him who kills the body
But fear gods eternal wrath
Satan is your friend today
Your destruction on the morrow
Become gods friend
And escape the sorrow
For the end is nigh
With regret and a sigh
I feel drawn to fleshly pleasures
But i draw my courage through payer
And step onto the narrow way
The long task ahead
I dont look back
Death is waiting to welcome be back
As i shed my earthly passions
And live upon my daily rations
I can breath the fresh air
I can run upon the grass
load i bare is less each day
For im not alone upon on the way
The lamb and the shepard
The son and the father
They help me shed my cares
To avoid satans snares
I love all forgive all
My reward life eternal.
Narrow is the way to life
Narrow is to avoid strife
Narrow is the way to live
Narrow is to forgive
Narrow is to follow law
Narrow is to accept your flaw
Narrow is to give thanks always
Narrow is to be as christ all ways
The lane or the highwayPath
The lane or the highway
Path or the byway
Two of my favourite writers come to mind...
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and Iā
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference."
- Robert Frost
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."
- Henry David Thoreau
