The Wretched

A Poem by Voxharmony
"

Listening to Nine Inch Nail's "The Wretched"

"
Like Wind We Rush <---> We Depart
^ Who Can Be Content ---> To Believe This 
Life
      Is Our Last ~~~> So Wretched
                                                      We Crawl, 
                                        Through The Filth That 
^Overflows --> Out Of 
                             <-- The Gutters Of This Earth -->
Claiming Lives ~ Of 
                                Our Lovers, Our Children, 
Victims Of 
         ~~~> The Wretched, The Wretched <~~~  
                       <--- SIN --->
That Inhabits < OurSouls >
Deeming Us <-------------> Dooming Us 
                      Finite
[ Happiness ] Turned To Dust <---
And Those About To Drown ---> Be They
Humble <--- Enough ---> Wise Enough
^ Will Look Up And Shout ^
       S A V E   U S


O Holy Night ---> ---> ><>


And This 
          <--- The Wretched, The Wretched --->
Night
        Shall Be  
                ~~~>   Transformed
Into The Holiest 
Of Nights --- As We
Fall 
Fall On Our Knees ---> To Finally Hear ^ 
The Angel Voices --->
                                And Salvation
---> Becomes Ours 
                  ^ The Wretched ^
Washed In The Blood ---> Their Eyes
Opened --->
                   Reset --->
As Jesus Is Made 
     ---> Our Lord <--- And 
Life
      --> Becomes Eternal
And All The 
   ---> Evil <---
And All The 
         ---> Wretchedness <---
Of This World ~~~> Of Our Making <~~~
Lies
        --------> Defeated .

Yes, there is a "religious" context. It is very important to me.
