Snares Are Laid In Your Good Deeds
So Far Away

(Heavily inspired by the song So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold)
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book sin burns.
Place and time are always on My mind.
I have so much to say but you're so far away.
I live a life so endlessly.
I see beyond what others see.
I never fear anything.
I am never ashamed and I'm always free.
I heal the broken heart with all that I can.
Can you accept the Bread in My hand?
Will you stay? Or will you stay away?
Please obey. Do not go astray...forever.
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book sin burns.
Place and time are always on My mind.
I have so much to say but you're so far away.
You make plans of what our futures hold.
The foolish lies are growing bold.
Accept my Cross, you're not invincible,
Open your ears, this truth is SO old.
At the end you'll make a last request.
It'll be a perfect chapter laid to rest.
In our house, we prepare many rooms.
Where you can stay awake forever.
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book sin burns.
Place and time are always on My mind.
I have so much to say but you're so far away.
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid.
The ones that we love are here with me.
Lay away a place for me.
For as soon as I'm done we'll be on our way to live eternally.
Shackled, I lift up my eyes in jubilant conviction.
I'm with you in the scourging and tribulation,
They crown my joy with thorns, they mock and deride.
I stand close to you in all their calumniation.
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book sin burns.
Place and time are always on My mind.
I have so much to say but you're so far away.
I'm sentenced to death and I embrace My Tree.
On they way, I fall that I may lift up thee.
My hands and feet are pierced so yours are steady and firm.
Dying to self, you are so nearer to me than you see.
Even in your death I will stay.
Though the stench drives many away.
The light I left still remains.
I know I am far, but I have so much to say.
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book sin burns.
Place and time are always on My mind.
I have so much to say but you're so far away.
He burst from the tomb as tangible Light.
Hope now turns the pages of the book He writes.
We are now filled with the Holy Ghost.
Authority speaks and sets all things right.
I love you, you are ready.
I'll see you, when He lets me.
The pain is strong and urges rise.
Your suffering gone, your hands untied.
Now I live with the ones I love.
Hope still turns the pages of the book of Life.
Place and time was, is, and ever shall be
at the Mass, which heals your eternity.

About the Author
I am a scientifically minded Catholic. I grew up in a world of darkness and vice, and my baptism (in my late 20s) gave me a clear distinction between good and evil. Incorporating that goodness and rejecting that evil has been a battle, but also a learning process that I'd like to share with others. The Lord told me to go and share His Light so that is what I aim to do. However, I need you to pray, so that the Gospel can be received in the fullness of the Catholic sense and with immense joy and peace.
