Verse 1 Opens with a murder scene and a warning label Blood on the ground before the dinner table God gets bored, flips a switch, starts over Kills damn near everybody, saves one boat owner Talking snake sells a lie like truth Punishment falls on the naked and the confused If this was fiction, it’d be banned in schools But you hand it to kids and call it the rules Pre-Chorus They say it’s love, they say it’s light Why does it read like fear every night? Chorus It reads like a Stephen King novel No edits, no mercy clause Everybody’s guilty, somebody’s chosen Violence dressed up as God’s applause Fire solves it, blood explains it Faith comes stapled to the threat Call it holy, call it wisdom I call it leather-bound fear porn scripture set Verse 2 Cities burn ‘cause somebody sinned Kids get cursed for the shape they’re in Bears tear flesh for a punchline joke That’s canon—go ahead, look it up, folks Plagues rain down like entertainment Firstborn dead for dramatic placement Every lesson ends the same damn way Obey or suffer, kneel or decay Pre-Chorus Red ink, black ink, same damn sound Power talking while bodies hit the ground Chorus It reads like a Stephen King novel Wrath first, grace on delay Angels kill with a clean conscience Sins get passed like hereditary pain Blood on doors, screams in the night God’s always right ‘cause God’s got might They call it truth, I call it threat Scare ‘em straight into heaven, baptize regret Bridge (spoken / half-time) If this is love, it’s abusive If this is truth, it’s coercive “Believe or burn” ain’t salvation That’s a hostage negotiation Last Chorus (drop instruments, come back heavy) Reads like a Stephen King novel Only horror with a choir stamp Every question met with thunder Every doubt lit by a lamp I ain’t saying throw it away I’m saying read it without the spell ‘Cause if hell’s real, they wrote the manual And sold it as a stairway outta hell Outro Amen. Now tell me that ain’t a scary book. Amen… and turn the damn light back on.
