The sword is broken, and the shield is smashed,

Shrill is the sound of the battle past.

A murder of crow doth enter my mind.

They caw, caw, caw death so sublime.

Hell doth pound upon my crown, pound, pound, pound, the pain abounds!

Serpents around and about my grave.

They do surround nobody to save.

Brimstone chokes my straining breath.

Unbearably, bearing down on my chest death, death, death.

I am surely bound, my short comings found.

Many personal failings did surely abound.

A die has been cast and it’s coming fast, justice now calls at the last.

The truth is revealed of my past, past, past.

The gate doth creek and the hinges squeak.

A vision of hell do I now peak, peak, peak.

A destiny deserved, a place not kind.

Its full of the hatred that entered my mind.

Lost is all, even my very being and soul, lost, lost, lost, Oh! what a cost, cost, cost?

My spirit was eternal.

What I deserve forever infernal.

The lot for my foolish past has come to me at the last.

But to my derision opened to me a vision.

Grace and love have something to speak.

This one is not yours, so close your doors.

Your deception in the fire keep.

Faith in a Savior hath quickened this vapor.

A gift, gift. gift not by works nor by labor, a gift, gift, gift, of unmerited favor.

An out stretch hand of love he has received.

Eternally redeemed, eternally redeemed, life is more than it outwardly seemingly seems, seemingly seams, seems, seem, seems!
