If you could remember
every word anyone's
ever said to you
the good alongside the bad
Would you want to?
If you could remember
every pleasure
only by remembering
the greatest pain
Would you choose to forget?
Think of every lie
you've ever told
Think of every soul
you've ever sold
Were they ever yours to take?
So in the end is
ignorance the only bliss?
The road to salvation
is a long run
but the fall to Hell
is deep
This is the end
Count all your sins
Given the choice
where would you be?
The ignorance of Heaven's light
or here in Hell with me?
I like the part about "every soul you've ever sold" very insightful into peoples ability to screw up integrity.
