Despair, The Devil’s Food

Despair is the devil’s food

And he eats it all the time

The further down we all fall

The far stronger he gets.

Eternal damnation isn’t in hell

It lives in our past as it darkens our mood

Bringing our happiness to sadness

As we face our deepest regrets.

So, when we ponder and want to have it all

Take a few steps back, pause, and think

Emphasizing all that we’ve accomplished

And cleaning up our own mess.

Forged in fire, tempered steel, is our brood

Ever climbing, reach the mountain’s crest.
