Letter From The Grave Lyrics

Scene 1 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! Refrain My conscience is killing me Like a worm that never dies (repeat) 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...
