Left or Right

Standing where the twin roads part the night

One burns with hunger, one with holy light

The left hand reaches for the flame that feeds

The right hand kneels where every hunger bleeds

Symmetry of shadow, symmetry of grace

Two mirrors facing in the same dark place

Hedonist pulse that answers only "more"

Saintly silence that has locked the door

Chorus:

Left or right—the balance does not break

One path takes, the other path forsakes

Flesh that claims the throne of its own will

Soul that yields until the will is still

I taste the salt of every forbidden fruit

I taste the ash of every absolute

The left road laughs and offers endless skin

The right road weeps and calls the self a sin

Mirror of desire, mirror of control

One dissolves the center, one makes it whole

Pleasure's spiral never finds its end

Purity's straight line pretends to bend

Chorus:

Left or right—the balance does not break

One path takes, the other path forsakes

Flesh that claims the throne of its own will

Soul that yields until the will is still

Bridge (spoken / half-sung over feedback):

No angel, no demon waits at the divide

Only the silence that asks which side is side

The crossroads is the question, not the choice

The voice that chooses is the only voice

Final Chorus (double time, then crash):

Left or right—the balance does not break

One path takes, the other path forsakes

Flesh that claims the throne of its own will

Soul that yields until the will is still

Outro – fading

Standing where the twin roads part the night...

One burns with hunger... one with holy light...
