Analysis of Exaltation



One day death will come for me,
it's been waiting since my birth.
But as one door closes one opens,
to release me from this earth.

My soul will leave my body,
within a tunnel of light.
And this swirling spiral shall
sanctify me in God's sight.

Immersed in its purity,
I'll be free of temptation.
And anointed with God's love,
I'll achieve exaltation.

Held in the arms of rapture,
I'll give up this moral guise.
And enter the gates of heaven,
severing all my earthly ties.

I’m the product of a semi-dysfunctional family, brought up by a controlling, physically abusive father, verses a loving mother.
