FOOLISH MAN

Such a Foolish man

Hells flames are burning too close

As you rejoice in their warmth

Laughing at thoughts of such place

Hades legend a simpleton’s myth

Is this world not hell enough

Deaths a sanctuary to be revealed

Satan’s pitchfork a puritan’s ruse

The world offers temporary joy

Does Peace arrive with his entrance?

Follow the deceiver into the depth

Where evil men suffer the abyss

Torment reserved for the hardened

You’ve weighed on man’s scales

No great corruption to be found

A sinner yes, but as are we all

A GOD who loves doesn’t condemn

Grace covers all the sin committed

Hell hath no fury to be feared by men

Heaven no reward to be pursued

You live as tomorrow promised

Your days as passing futures

Time waits for your desires

The Day comes when myths die

How will you answer the King?

Yourself a sinner, Him a sinless judge

Friends of a life will abandon you

Satan of Hades will claim you

God of justice must sentence you

All foolishness is swept away

For on this very night so dark

Your life will be demanded of you

Such a foolish man
