**[Verse 1]** They told me there’s a fire That never burns away, A sentence without ending, No mercy, no escape. A lifetime full of questions, A few short years to choose— Then infinite damnation For getting heaven wrong? **[Pre-Chorus]** If justice has a measure, If punishment should fit, How can a finite failure Deserve the infinite? **[Chorus]** **Eternal torment, eternal pain,** **Forever lost inside the flame.** If God is love, then tell me why His children scream and never die. No second chance, no final door, Just suffering forevermore. If this is justice from above— **What does it say about God’s love?** **[Verse 2]** Would any loving father Condemn his child this way? Not for an hour, not for a lifetime— But every endless day? Could I watch someone suffer And have the power to save, Then turn away forever And still call myself good? **[Pre-Chorus]** We call compassion holy, Forgiveness something true— So why demand more mercy From humans than from You? **[Chorus]** **Eternal torment, eternal pain,** **Forever lost inside the flame.** If God is love, then tell me why His children scream and never die. No second chance, no final door, Just suffering forevermore. If this is justice from above— **What does it say about God’s love?** **[Bridge]** Maybe Hell is metaphor, A warning dressed in flame. Maybe generations Have misunderstood the claim. Maybe judgment heals us, Maybe every soul comes home. Or maybe we made God resemble The darkest parts we’ve known. Because if I would stop the torture, And God could stop it too— Yet chooses it forever… **What am I supposed to conclude?** **[Final Chorus]** **Eternal torment, eternal pain,** Can endless suffering make us change? If there’s no healing, no release, No road from agony to peace— Then punishment has lost its aim, And justice starts to look like hate. If God is better than we are, Shouldn’t mercy reach that far? **[Outro]** I’m not afraid to question What I was taught was true. If God is love, then love should stand The questions we put it through. And if there really is a God Whose goodness has no end— I cannot understand a Hell **Where mercy never enters in.**
