The Wages of Sin

The Son of God died for your sins
But how easily you forget
If told this sacrifice would be in vain
I wonder if He’d do it over again
Your soul’s impure and there’s no hope for a cure
You’ve traveled down the Path of Temptation
Now it’s too late to change your wicked ways
Transgression’s led to your eternal damnation
When the clarion calls and the Angels fall
You’ll be reborn into a world of sorrow
Never again will you wallow in sin
The time you’re living on is borrowed
Ignorance lost
No longer blind, you’ll see
An unwilling witness
To the mystery
Killing flames rain from the sky
Extinction looms, Humanity’s decline
Fuck your neighbors, save yourself
Join the greedy in the Pits of Hell
The Day of Judgment has arrived
Time to pay for your sins
If you think you’re going to see the Pearly Gates
Well, you better fucking think again
Now below, you finally see
The price you’ll pay for the life you chose to lead
God can’t hear you now, so, save your breath
The Wages of Sin, it seems, is far worse than death
Your spirit’s stained black and there’s no turning back
All your life you’ve given in to Temptation
Now you’ve run out of time, you’ve reached the end of the line
Indulgence paved the way to your Damnation
When the Angels fell, they dragged you with them to Hell
You’re adrift in a sea of sorrow
And as your atonement begins, for a lifetime of sins
You realize there’ll be no more tomorrows
Innocence lost
No longer pure, you’ll burn
A penance in flames
Is your punishment earned
Punishment earned
It’s your punishment earned
Burn, burn, burn
It’s your punishment earned
Punishment earned
It’s your punishment earned
Burn, burn, burn
It’s your punishment earned
