This Is Your Damnation

In the great big old scheme of things I'm an ordinary guy
But the questions i have are the same as yours I guess
Like "Why"
"Why" is a little word but we all use it just the same
Why terrorism, why Covid, why cancer, why Aids

Well i've read the bible and i guess you have too
Each time a read it didn't find nothin new
Same old stories and places and fables too
But this time i read it there was something amiss
It seemed kinda angry and started to hiss
It screamed words of fire and some kind of curse
And it sounded something like this

You unbeliever feel fear and shame
Heaven is losing it's patience
You mocked the words that you hold in your hand
This is your damnation

Well if you believe in the same way that I don't
You'd think i pissed someone off
And if that belief was in anyway real
You'd have to think It must be God
And if you're sure there's one
You must believe there's another
And there could only be one other
His name's the devil and he was next to come

So i took a step backwards while the hissing stopped
The curse was fading and my pulse had dropped
And I waited for a sign of some kind of beast
And no sooner had the bible come to rest
It burst into flames of blue and red
And a pentagram rose and screamed these words at me

You unbeliever feel fear and shame
The devil is losing his patience
You mocked the words that you hold in your hand
This is your damnation

Light and fire, getting closer, things are changing inside my head
Voices calling, hear the warning, words and symbols of the dead
Uh huh
