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
