Letter from the Grave

Lyrics

Shaking my fist at the heavens- my lifetime pastime
 But now no more natural light shines- flat line
 Just as I was dissing his name
 I'm hit with the flames as my soul left my physical frame
 Frightened, my senses heightened
 Defenseless against this relentless lightning
 A stampede of thunder claps, I can't breathe
 It's like I'm running laps with my lung collapsed
 I can't leave- I'm stuck and trapped
 Meanwhile, I am no longer senile
 The life I lived in the body- that feels like the dream now
 And I've awakened to a real life nightmare
 It's quite clear- no use putting up a fight here
 My destiny is sealed; a true catastrophe
 With future agonies that have yet to be revealed
 And that thought alone is such a blow to me- it's terrible
 Because what I'm feeling right now is totally unbearable
 I'm disembodied, met my worst feat mentally
 Every second like a year, every year a century
 No one that I can call, I'm crushed under a wall
 Of holy fury, amazed by the justice of it all
 Getting what I deserve, in fact my soul is burning black
 I've crossed over the threshold- never to be saved
 Eternal is the furnace and it ain't no turning back
 Oh God, just let me send my fam a letter from the grave!
 My conscience is killing me
 Like a worm that never dies
 Like a worm that never dies
 Scene 2
 To my parent, my sisters, my cousins, my nieces
 Friend, co-workers- everybody needs to read this
 You probably thinking I'm in heaven smiling down upon you
 But that's not true- I'm writing this now to warn you
 I'm serious- wish I could put a gun to your face
 Whatever it takes to make you listen- don't come to this place
 I made tons of mistakes when I was there with y'all certainly
 The worst by far was not preparing for eternity
 It's crazy- I don't even know how to tell y'all
 But I'm in hell, y'all
 And I know it's upsetting to hear- it's upsetting to be here
 But I write so you'd get it and see clear
 I don't have all the answers- I grope for more
 But there are a couple of things that I know for sure
 Re-incarnation is a lie- there's no such thing as Satan- lie
 Getting to heaven through meditation- that's a lie
 Homicidal I feel, but it's vital we build
 Your pride will be killed- the God of the Bible is real
 Y'all know- I ain't read the Bible a day in my life
 But He's the one who's inflicting all my pain and my strife
 So get a Bible and read it- whatever you read- believe it
 And after reading, eat it, sleep it and breathe it
 There's much more to this man Jesus- observe the story
 And I can tell you that there's no such thing as purgatory
 What I wouldn't give to have your opportunity
 I see my pride has ruined me, ignoring God is lunacy
 There's no comfort, all shame, no peace
 No slumber, all pain, it don't cease
 So don't be lax when attacked with distractions
 The fashions and attractions had me relaxing
 Now I'm awake for the first time ever
 But from the goodness of God's works I'm severed
 Regretting all the tracts that I threw in the trash
 Regretting moving fast in pursuit of the cash
 Regretting spending all my life trusting myself
 Regretting not reading the Bible up on my shelf
 Regretting all the things in life that had me caught up
 Regretting switching the subject when Christ was brought up
 Regretting not going to church when my friends invited me
 Regretting believing my college profs who lied to me
 Regretting dismissing all believers as lame
 Regretting not examining Jesus' claims
 Regretting...
