    Poem Commentary

    Very dark poem, in a lot of ways it is anti religious. If it offends you, don't read it; simple as that. However, It doesn't express my literal views of the church or God; it's metaphoric and it shows my feelings about religion in General.

    Gothic Christmas
    This tree so light, this room so dark
    This is out of my mind
    Shattered glass; tainted souls
    people aren't that kind

    They give their gifts and yet they hate
    while they pray to God
    Save my soul, my tainted soul
    Just save me from myself

    This room so dark, and yet so bright
    it's what you want to see
    These rusted chains around my feet
    it's a gloomy day

    The churches sing out to their God
    and yet they don't believe
    In his love, and his compassion
    for they have all judged me

    The blackened windows, their darkened eyes
    another Gothic Christmas
    Thank you God for this suprise
    why not kill me now?

    Oh save me now, from your people
    hands that are so cold
    I'm not Christian; for I am real
    I am not corrupt

    Thank you God, for this day
    another Gothic Christmas
    Here's the church, at my door
    I cannot believe this

    It is written that hypocrisy is the one unpardonable sin, at the same time, it seems to be the sin that runs most rampant in the world. “Gothic Christmas” is an excellent illustration of how deeply it's ingrained. Venomously effective.
