Do Not Doubt Your Senses - based on "A Christmas Carol"

[Intro – spoken, deep, gravelly, ominous] In life… I was Jacob Marley… Your friend [guitar instrumental] [Verse – mocking, disgusted] Man of the world! You doubt your senses? This is the truth! Nothing else is! [Verse] 3 spirits come for you KNOWING your offences They will break down ALL of your defences! Your mal nourished soul Is dying – you MUST cleanse it! You doubt your senses… [Verse – serious, warning] You tremble before me - GOOD! Then HEED my words to thee! For the reclamation I beg of you… Was offered once… To me [Verse – reflective] Seven Christmas Eve’s have come and gone Since I passed from this earthly creation But EIGHT Christmas Eve's ago I was undone By my own Spectral visitation! [Verse] Do not doubt your senses! Do not share my fate… lamented! It’s not too late! Not too late to show repentance! [Verse] Do not stop up your heart… Act to prevent it! My eternal loneliness… You must NEVER comprehend it! Your fate can yet be still amended Your final doom transcended! [Chorus – powerful, desperate, building, chorus] Do not doubt! Man of the world! Do not doubt your senses! (do not doubt!) Do not doubt your senses! (do not doubt!) Do not doubt your senses! Do not doubt Your senses... [Verse – bitter] Recall now, Scrooge… Old Fez-ee-wig? First master? Business partner? He suspected not our game was rigged We steered his life in to disaster [Verse – regretful, heavy] Passed from this world a broken man But he came to me… an angel decked in glory! Tried to make me understand I did not… I could not... I would not believe his story! [Chorus – sung, powerful, desperate, building] Do not doubt! Man of the world! Do not doubt your senses! (do not doubt!) Do not doubt your senses! (do not doubt!) Do not doubt your senses! Do not doubt Your senses... [Verse – urgent, building intensity] With every pound of flesh and blood And every pence of pain I sealed my doom by which I'm judged Forged a fresh link in my chain So do not think to doubt the sense Of the DOOM you WILL obtain! [Verse – pleading, intense] My fate long sealed, for I rejected My shot at reclamation! My friend, I beg you — stand corrected Take your last chance for salvation!!! [Outro – sung, bigger, more desperate] Do not doubt your senses! Do not share my fate… lament it! It’s not too late! Not too late to show repentance! Do not stop up your heart… Act to prevent it! My eternal loneliness... You must NEVER comprehend it! Your fate can yet be still amended Your final doom, I urge you now Transcend it! Do not doubt! Man of the world! Do not doubt your senses! Do not doubt your senses Do not doubt your senses…
