A Dead Man Speaking

I awakened in hell When I opened my eyes While consumed in an inferno of flames I felt cold I'm wondering why ? Could it be because I remained dead while I was alive? Or could it be because I didn't make the most important decision before I died? I can recall when I was on the other side I was consumed with pride and thought I had arrived But in the lake of fire is where I arrived Its the humble God accepts and the prideful He rejects If I could turn back the hands of time it would be You I would accept Your word you kept You're real and not fake Failure to make one decision Determined my eternal fate
