Analysis of THE SINNER MAN
THE SINNER MAN
The sinner man within me demands to get out and break free.
From the angelic guards that keep watch at his jail cell gates.
He chants to me in order to speak to my mind.
Telling me to go out and enjoy life and all that it has to offer.
Do not be afraid to sin for I the sinner man am already within you.
Let yourself run wild and be free.
Smoke, drink and enjoy the many pleasures of a woman’s body for after all they were made to please you.
Do not fight against me, embrace what you already are.
You were born a sinner, and this is what you will always be and someday die.
He chants to me causing me to give in to his will.
He chants to me causing me to give in to his will.er awaiting to overpower the angelic guards that rest at his gates in order to keep watch.
The sinner man within me wants to consume me with all his wickedness and hate.
So that my angelic guards can no longer put up a fight for they have been made weak by the lust of my sins.
For if I let the sinner man in me grow too powerful.
My angelic guards dare not stand a chance to capture him and imprison him once again.
