Offending God and Mankind

I carved the stars with trembling hands. Chasing secrets I could not withstand.

The fire burned, but left me blind. I have offended God

and mankind. Oh, the heavens cry. The earth turns away.

My sins are written in the clay. No redemption, no design.

I have offended God and mankind. I built the wings that could not fly.

A monument to hubris in the sky. The silence echoes sharp and unkind.

I have offended God and mankind. Oh, the heavens cry.

The earth turns away. My sins are written in the clay.
