PURGATORY I was getting the tattoo done. The Queen of the Underworld. Half had been completed and had the second session booked. Yet the fates decreed that whilst I was riding around trying to save up money to get her finished, on her sacred night of Halloween 2018, a driver who was half asleep at the wheel cut directly across my lane. I could have been killed and was off the road for a few months. This song was written the following year and expresses how I felt. It took a few years to get a settlement for my crash, and its safe to say in that time I felt like I was in some purgatorial limbo. However I rose to the trial and got back on the bike and went to work, even throughout the pandemic and even after police later took my bike. Getting back on the horse no matter what happened, and it finally paid off. I overcame a bad situation and a test of faith in myself and the gods themselves. REALLY DONT WANT TO WRITE THIS DAMN SONG, NEED TO LEAVE IT IN THE PAST WHERE IT BELONGS, BUT THE MEMORIES, SPIRITS, DEMONS HAUNTING ME, THROUGH THEM, THROUGH YOU, THROUGH ME, WONT LET ME BE, EXORCISM, SOMETIMES THEY GO AWAY, CREEPING BACK NOW, LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE HERE TO STAY, MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL SEND THEM ALL TO HELL, OR MAYBE I'LL GO THERE TO ESCAPE I CANT TELL, CLEANSE ME IN THE FIRE, PURIFY AND BURN IT ALL AWAY, ALCHEMICAL BLOOD GIVE ME FAITH THAT ONE DAY, I'LL BE FREE OF PURGATORY. FALLEN ANGELS TRAPPED IN LIMBO, SAVAGE CREATURES AND WHIPS OF GOLD, WE'VE BEEN TOLD, LIES OF OLD, BY DRAGON MOTHERS THAT BURN US COLD, BROKEN FROZEN ABORTED LOVE IT SCARES ME TO DEATH, YET IN A FUTURE I SAW HER CLEARLY, SHE HELD MY CHILD, WE HAD A BABY, BUT IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN, IT'S NEVER GONNA BE, IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN, BETWEEN YOU, BETWEEN ME, IN PURGATORY. DIVINE CLARITY, MY GIFT, MY WISH, MY SANITY. MY HIDING ANGEL.
