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
