"Yes Master," says I.
But to whom?
Master of Sin, what face do you hold?
Demon of treachery, red serpent of hell.
Seductive face of wispy self-indulgence.
Carried on wings to overcome the son-bearing virgin.
Responsible for every lie. Every high.
I wreck friendships, with the he said she said twists of deception.
I turn brother against brother till the Earth cries;
for it is drowning in their blood, they've forgotten their shared point of conception.
Through me the woman you loved became the woman you despise,
though me a family goes on through broken lives.
My tongue sets fires,
My fingers pull triggers...
What do you know?
The face I imagined changed to a face... my own.
Rachael, Master of Sin.
And every lie, and every high.
Change your connotation.
Rachael, Master of Sin.
And every action is mine.
Master, that sounds nice.
So shall I, Master of Sin, be consumed by it?
Become a slave to it?
Or Master over it.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
---For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:12-15, 23
